Verify Google+ Local Pages

But old style Google Places pages are still out of luck

Early this month Google introduced functionality to verify the new Google+ Local pages - not the old style Google Places which will be eventually migrated - but the new Google+ pages that must be created under the Local Business or Place category.

The process is simple consists of having a Post Card with a unique pin mailed to your businesse's address. Once that is accomplished your brand page will look something like Sleepless Goat Café Google+ Local Page and more importantingly it will be unified accross Google's Search, Google Maps, and Google+.

Business utilizing the former Google Places will be eventually transitioned to Google+ Local. For more information please see the oficial FAQ and discussion threads here and here

Google Places Administration Page

For those of you that asked below is a screen shot of the old style administration page for Google Places that will eventually be phased out. If you have one of those you can access it by clicking 'Get Started' button located at http://www.google.com/places/ page.

Softeher 'Error occurred. (Error code: 2)' sollution

Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server. The Softether server by default to run on port 443 , if you server also hosts normal https then 443 is already taken and so Softether can't bind to it. When you run `vpncmd` it attempts to connect, find an active port, but of course fails with 'Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server.' because it's not actually connecting to the vpn server. By default Softether also listens on 992 , 1194 , and 5555 so the sollution is to modify specify `localhost:5555` when executing the `vpncmnd`. If this has helped you feel free to comment or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows .
