API
Google + API’s launched by Google
The first developer application programing interface(API) for Google+ has been unveiled.The launch of API is the first step towards creating Google+ apps and integrating social network into existing apps.
Google Developer Advocate Chris Chabot said I’m super excited about how the Google+ project brings the richness and nuance of real-life sharing to software, and today we’re announcing our first step toward bringing this to your apps as well by launching the Google+ public data APIs”.
Google has made it clear that the retrieval is available for public posts and public profile data.As stated by one of the developer,the API’s allow for querying of a single person or an activity in Google+. The API’s would not allow TweetDeck or Hootsuite to support posting to Google+.
After the release of API,many developers feel that Google+ can catch up with Facebook.The release of API is still a major milestone in the growth of Google+ which was launched just three months ago. Google + still has a long way to go and compete with Facebook.
