Nice catch! I’ll try to reproduce the issue, and we’ll work on a fix. Thanks for the report!

Jetpack doesn’t offer any option to do that in the dashboard, but you can build a small plugin to remove the filters responsible for adding the badge at the bottom of every post. You can find where the badge (post_output_wrapper) is hooked here:

If you’re already using another plugin to handle Google Authorship, and if you want to use Jetpack to add the Follow button to the bottom of your posts, I would suggest that you disable that other plugin. Once you add the Follow button to your posts, Jetpack will also handle Google Authorship for you.

Google+ doesn’t offer the option to embed albums yet, but we’ll keep an eye on this. Thanks for the feedback!

Google+ badges do not offer such option at the moment.

Jetpack doesn’t support brand pages yet, but we’re looking into it!

Not trying to be rude but…
None of us care that « Profile connections are intended.. etc etc.. », those are implementation details. I’m guessing Google don’t have a publicized way for this to work, and thus « it can’t be done » at this time..

I understand the plugin can’t post to a Google business page, but is this something that might happen in the future?

As it is now, I will disable the link to my personal Google plus page, since it’s not really the right place for my restaurant business posts..

You seem to be referring to the rel=author tag only… How about also implementing the rel=publisher tag which is designed to connect brand pages to websites, exactly as Alan G. requests…
