  Jim Munro: My photo does not appear because I have rel=author links on home pages or at least I think that's why it is. I have other links in other places that predate the inception of authorship. I don't know why I should have to change them but one day when I get time and the inclination I will probably rectify that.
  
  Was that the question you were asking, Neeraj?

  Neeraj Kumar: I also want to know that in incognito mode, i am seeing google authorship of other people and that in google+ post as snippets. So google widely allow authorship on content which is linked to the author but without ?rel=author. Or all posts on google+ auto-relate to author google+profile? Or there is a flaw in my understanding of google authorship! +Jim Munro

  Jim Munro: I think +Tim Capper ;or +Masatake Wasa ;might know more on this. If you search for the keyword "author " (add a space and there should be 14) you will find that G+ has listed my authorship links including one from a site that is not listed in the search result. It must be useful to them in some way but I'll be interested to hear what others have to say.

  Masatake Wasa: I'm slightly lost. If it's on plus.google.com, then the author is clear (the profile that posted the posts) and it wouldn't rely on any link between the Google+ profile and an external site.
  
  Otherwise Google does assign authorship from context, and there have been cases where Google has been over-zealous: in things like multi-author blog, where some authors have Google+ profiles, and others do not.
