Google+ Shouldn't Provide A Post API
I've been disappointed that Google doesn't provide an API to post to my Plus stream. It's really selfish but I want to post from any of the client tools I use, and that is the problem, so does everyone else. As Google's Vic Gundotra says, "your stream could be easily overwhelmed", and I agree.
Looking at this problem from their point of view, with pretty weak noise control, Google+ would quickly turn into an out of control Twitter. The sad part is the difficulty of preventing people from abusing the API. Throttling and whitelisting seem to be common solutions to this problem, but there is no guarantee the user of a white listed app won't abuse it.
I'll take the hassle of having to manually post until Google can figure it out.
