It is with great sadness today that we morn the passing of Google Authorship.

Google Authorship died so young, however it was a beautiful, elegant life lived.

We found Google Authorship was very useful in finding trusted sources of information quickly.

Displaying the Google+ profile image and a link to the Google+ page gave me much more confidence in the search results.
