Google is mulling a Twitter-like suggested user feature for Google Plus.
Bradley Horowitz, vice president of product at Google, floated the idea via a tweet Friday afternoon:
A Google rep confirmed that the search engine giant is “exploring suggested users” and wants to start a dialog with people who have big Twitter followings. The tweak would be just the latest to Google+, which also got a Chrome-based translation feature this past week and an “ignore” option for annoying people in the network.
Twitter introduced a suggested user list in 2009 and then scrapped it later that year, though the company introduced a more personalized list in 2010. Facebook also experimented with a suggested user list last year.
