I was talking to Brett Slatkin about authorship and he mentioned the Google Consumer surveys offers an A/B image survey that would be perfect for Authorship profile photo optimization.
You also get geographic/demographic breakdowns so I suspect that it's a good deal more informative than the OK Cupid bestface system.

Your investment in authorship continues to pay dividends. Thanks everyone for implementing -- it makes products like this possible.

Content Recommendations for Your Mobile Website
When you help someone find a great article on your site, you’re not only making them happier, you’re inspiring deeper engagement and loyalty. That's why today, we're bringing together elements of Google+ and Google Search to suggest the right content from your mobile website, at just the right time.
For example: Forbes visitors can now more easily discover other Forbes articles based on Search Authorship, signals and other articles with lots of Google+ activity (including +1's and shares). In all cases, recommended content is based on the specific page the visitor is viewing, to boost the relevance of recommendations. And they only appear when people tap for more, so as not to interrupt their browsing experience.
Very interesting on a lot of fronts!

A really well written, must-read article about Google's Authorship program.
And this applies to anything you author. For example, if you're an open source developer you should definitely link your github profile. Video and photo sites? Same thing.
Most sites are supporting XFN these days so the more links to your Google+ profile, the more often your face will show up next to your content.

Do you have a Panoramio account?
Consider adding a link your Google+ profile here http://www.panoramio.com/settings/
Then add your Panoramio account to your Google+ profile (in the Other Profiles section). When linked both ways it will enable people in your circles to find your Panoramio content in personalized search.
[Note: This works for most sites supporting authorship that include profile pages.]

Would people be interested in a periodic hangout where me and my weekly Google guest makeover your web site with Googley features? We'd have a special guest each time and go over things like authorship markup, security, performance, APIs, widgets etc?
+1 this post if you're interested. Feel free to nominate your favorite site you'd like me to put under the microscope in the comments...
