I was wondering when an official public API would be ready. It should be interesting to see what people come up with.

I will give a HUGE HUG to the first person to let me pull RSS feeds or a Twitter stream into G+.

if OpenSocial on Orkut was any indicator... this api spec will change so often the docs will never be up to date.

Your hug will have to wait because this API is read only.

Has anyone gotten the people demo to work? I can't seem to get by own data, even after switching to private access. I get a 403 on everything.

I can actually see a good argument for the API remaining read-only so that Google+ emphasises original content and doesn't just end up as a ghost-town full of content syndicated in from elsewhere and sending people off to another site to join in the real conversation.

Yeah good point.

Surely this will be unavoidable for Google - they'll need to open up write access for third party apps, and they'll be wanting those for sure.

Wait, so it's not an OpenSocial container?

I registred as a developer for Google+ but received no notification about this
