"Update: Wait. We're back?\r\n\r\n-\r\n\r\nGoogle announced only a few hours ago that it would be shutting down profiles of non-users, specifically \u201Ca team, an organization, a business, a brand, an NGO, a university, etc.\u201D Its motivations aren't completely clear but we assume Google simply wants to ensure Google+ remains a business free zone until it officially releases &amp;quot;business profiles&amp;quot;.\r\n\r\nIf I'm honest, I expected it to to be at least a couple of weeks before we'd be kicked off the site but no, Google isn't one to muck around. TNW, along with some other publications, have officially been booted off the site that we can honestly say we've become a big fan of.\r\n\r\nI don't think there's another publication out there that has provided as much coverage on news, views and resources to make the most out of the Google+ experience. The good news is that we won't stop and, with a bit of luck, we'll be back soon whether as part of Google's business profiles trials or when it officially launches the feature later this year.\r\n\r\nIn the mean time, for TNW news, feel free to follow our troops on G+. The full list can be found below and of course, the list of most followed on G+ can be found on our very own Social Statistics.\r\n\r\nSee you soon G+'s.\r\n\r\nList of TNW Staff on Google+\r\nZee M Kane - Editor in Chief\r\nMatt Brian - Mobile/Apple Editor\r\nBrad Mccarty - US Editor\r\nMartin Bryant - European Editor:\r\nArjen Schat - Co-Founder &amp;amp;amp; CTO\r\nCourtney Myers - East Coast Editor\r\nBoris Veldhuijzen van Zanten - TNW Co-Founder\r\nPatrick de Laive - TNW Co-Founder\r\nJorg Ruis - TNW CMO\r\nJoel Falconer - Australia Editor\r\nPaul Sawers - \u00A0UK Editor\r\nFrancis Tan - Asia Editor\r\nAmalia Agathou - Marketing &amp;amp;amp; Social Media Director\r\nNancy Messieh - Middle East Editor\r\nVikas SN - India Editor\r\nMatthew Panzarino - West Coast Editor\r\nMike Vardy - West Coast Editor\r\nNmachi Jidenma - Africa Editor\r\nAnna Heim - Latin America Editor\r\nAlex Wilhelm - Microsoft Editor\r\nAleks Grynis - TNW Poland Editor\r\nGuy Doyen - TNW France Editor"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
