Many are reporting that the link to your name at the top right of Google properties, after you are signed in, no longer links you to your Google+ profile. Here is a picture from Ana Hoffman on Google+.

I still see the hyperlink for myself, and it says Barry+ and to Google+ for me, but many are not seeing it.

Techmeme has tons of coverage of Google dropping Google+ from the navigation. Another sign that Google+ is dying and Google has shifted focus away from the ever so important social network.

To access Google+, you need to go to the app section of the navigation bar – way deep into the navigation.
