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? https://developers.google.com/+/

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.
