  • You can try using their alternative which is "rich snippets" or whatever is showing there on that page as another option to the Authorship.

  • I belive it was a project to enhance a website's viewability on search result pages; correct me if I'm wrong though, wouldn't be the first time.

According to my knowledge google authorship is a programe which google start for the authors. Through this authorship google show the author information with image in serach rezults. This programe is very benefitial for the authors. This program is very benefitial for the the SEO.
