    Update our own news feed, dlvr.it syndicates this to facebook and twitter.

    • Sorry guys.  You’re at the mercy of Google on this request.  At the moment they haven’t released an API for developers to use to post to G+.  Apparently they’ve been busy doing more important things like adding games!?!?!?

  4. This is nice information you provide to connect google plus with facebook and twitter but it is not the right way. As facebook and twitter is only for social site though many people have used it for business also. But  google plus provide the platform for business separately so why there is need of connection. So instead of that we can make new start on google plus with new information which can be very informative and helpful to people.

  9. This is some nice info – thanks for sharing that. I’ve been stuck between facebook and G+ but i’m tempted to make the switch entirely to google now.

  10. I heard that Google just sent out an email to select companies asking if they want to participate in a API Beta. I am hoping that in the next few days that we will see on the dlvr.it blog that they have been asked, and that soon after that dlvr.it confirms that there is a G+ post create function in the API which will allow dlvr.it to add g+ post items to their delivery targets.

    Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

    Cheers!
