Google announced on Google+ that they will be showcasing an interview a week with a member of the Google Webmaster team. This will help us get to know those who work at Google, specifically on the team that is here to help webmasters.

New #spotlight series: Join us Wednesdays as we interview our Google Webmasters team members around the worldGooglebot's a busy one - but there are many others on our team working hard to keep webmasters like you supported, educated and updated. Starting next Wednesday, get to know the members of our Google Webmasters team as we share with you why we love what we do, what we think the webmaster community must know, and how we spend our time offline (yes, we unplug too!).
Of course, we know people like John, Gary, Zineb, Mariya and many others but who will Google showcase first?
I assume this is an effort to make Google look more human and friendly?
Time will tell and honestly, I wonder if it will last more than three to six months.
