Google Plus ID Card

Just a quick post, here.  Cleta posted a link during a chat session today, showing a way to create your own Google Plus ID badge.  Since I thought it looked pretty nifty, I thought I’d go ahead and give it a shot.  All I had to do was enter my Google+ ID number found in the address bar of your G+ profile page, enter my G+ name, my nickname, and the hard part, the date I joined the service.  I say the hard part because it seems the only way to find that out, is to scroll all the way down to the first post you ever made on the site.  This is usually, for most people, the same day that you joined the service.

After I did that, they let me choose which color I wanted the ID card to be, and I was off to the races. I just clicked to generate and the image immediately downloaded to my computer. What I thought was cool, was that they put a Quick Response (QR) code at the bottom of the ID card, so when you scan it with a QR scanner, (I use QRReader on my iPod Touch) it immediately takes you to my Google Plus profile. Pretty nifty.
