Unfortunately at this point the Google+ API is ''read-only''. So it is
not feasible to develop social media clients that automatically post
to Google+. I guess that is what Andrew et al meant.

besides, I think the biggest problem is the Google + still didn't open
its API for sync post
so usually, WMHK's messages are sync on Twitter and Facebook, but google

anyway we try to find a smart way to deal with that
This is basically the reason -- G+ doesn't play nice with others like
Facebook and Twitter.
So besides being third to the race, they're also limiting their exposure
by not providing an API.

Not this kind of API you're looking for on a platform like google+? What
else you're looking for?

Are we the one not using the API , or they don't provide the API?
Its just a point of correction though. ;)
Putting all things said above aside, at least, just as WMF/Wikipedia/some
wiki chapters have got a g+ page, it will be nice for wikimania to have one
too. Whether g+ is lagging behind or is a loser, at least, they deserve a
wikimania page, at least.
For an individual, i think its a personal preference to join g+. but for
wikimania, i think there's no excuse about that.
