SAN FRANCISCO: Google said it is throttling back on its vision of having profiles at its social network serve as people’s identities across its range of online offerings. 

“Important changes” coming to Google+ in the months ahead will include users no longer needing an account at the social network to post videos or comments at YouTube.
