So my name is "Dave Hill" — or "+Dave Hill" in Google Plus parlance.<\/p>\n

But nobody calls me that, except for the lady at the DMV to call me to the counter. But Google Plus has no way of referring to people in a linked fashion except by their full tag — "So, +Dave Hill<\/b>, what did you think of that?" "I hear what you are saying, +Dave Hill<\/b>, but I respectfully disagree," "You got your finger stuck in a light socket? Bummer, *+Dave Hill*"<\/p>\n

Uglaublich III" or "Susanne DeFenestracion" and have it link back to them \/ flag them with a notification.<\/p>\n
