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+?
There is a $49 solution.

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.
