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.

It'd be fine by me if Google didn't open up API write access, or if they did such messages were banished to another tab, like the Games section.

I get the feeling that Google has a new policy to NOT support IE9/8/7, like with their Chrome experiments ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2812503 ).

Check the BrowserLab results: http://i.imgur.com/S6dQP.png

I would say that there are two options:

* They don't test their site in IE9 (nor 8/7/6) or they don't know/care.

* They are actively doing this..

And I cannot believe the first..

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 think their own developer console is being rate limited by the API call limitations or something. I can get my own data out of their APIs after signing up for my own API key and using it. The API is really limited right now though... there's very little you can do with it.

You can already do this with the Buzz tab.

There was an issue with the console that is now fixed. It didn't work for me initially either.
