    Hang on a second. The sentence that says, “rumor has it that public posts are on the decline on Google+” contains a link to a geek.com article with the headline: “Google+ public posts down 41%? We dont think so”

    And it gets weirder because Russel Holly wrote both articles yet the implication in the linked sentence is the exact opposite of the conclusions in the article it links to.

    >This is great if you want to grab posts from people’s feed to display in Times Square, or if CNN wants to show their audience what Google+ thinks about a topic like they do with Twitter, but really very little else.

    Is this is the best thing you came up with that you can use an API for? There are tons of things this can used for. Showing one example does not mean that’s all you can use this for. Use cases are unlimited…

    >This isn’t new, in fact many services have been scraping data from Google+ for their own purposes, which offers nearly the same functionality.

    Wow, wow, wow! Are you in the mood to write HTML parsing code or something? Having API for the same thing is amazing and very useful. It will not be broken when Google+ changes the look and will work. Parsing HTML is …… not what good programmers prefer doing.
    Why is using another company to provide API any better than getting it from Google? In itself, this brings the slew of different issues.

    >This feels an awful lot like Google pushing out something for the sake of pushing it out.
    Google likes doing small, frequent releases. Similar to release schedules for Chromium project. No need to do major releases.
