The picture was taken at an event using my Google Glass. The picture was not shared with G+ or any other social media service. The original picture uploaded to my G+ photos that night while Glass was charging. A few days later, on April 1st, she received a notification about the Hoffed picture.
No harm done with the Auto Hoffsome photo as we both thought it was quite funny and appropriate for the event.
We were both dressed in traditional Bavarian clothing for a silent auction fund raiser for a German language school. Coincidentally, one of the auction items was a collection of David Hasselhoff memorabilia. Adding Hoff to the picture was in context with the theme and added to the fun we had at the event.
Some of the fun:
What is intriguing, is that my wife did not have a profile picture of herself for her account at the time, nor did I have pictures or reference her in my G+ accounts. Further adding to this mystery is that we have different last names.
How did G+ know that she was in the picture and find her account?
If anyone has an idea or the official word on how my wife got Hoffed, let me know.
