I wish to learn about how much (in $) it cost the managers of Wikimedia Foundation and Wikipedia page on Google+ submit a single post.
The instance of time and resources chipped into the act of having a page on Google+, i think doesn't hold. How long will it cost the one posting onto the fb and twitter platforms (in terms of time and energy) to copy, paste and share that same post on Google+?
I kind of feel surprised at how time and resources are raised as if its gonna cost WMF 10s of 1000s of dollars to implement that.
@James Wikimania DC had no presence on G+. At least, i think Wikimania HK can break that record!
The idea of api limitations etc, well, fine! how does that prevent cross-platform posting? There are so many handy and easy-to-use tools available to facilitate that, irrespective of Google not having one themselves. In fact, if there's the will, there's a way
I guess, i kind of sense a bit of personal preference in these platforms selection other than seeing them as they should be seen. Critically looking, I can also say that cross posting onto twitter from fb is not necessary since all (if not almost) the users on twitter who follow Wikimania are on fb.
i hope this issue is seen as it should, other than concentrating on google's api's, and other factors, that to me, are baseless.
