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..

UPDATE: See grandchild.

1) http://developers.google.com/ is an internal server error.

2) I don't trust BrowserLab as not a single one of the browsers showed me https://developers.google.com/+/

1) I cannot verify that, all my tests are responding with a HTTP status 200.

2) Well of course I notices it with my IE9 first, but I thought that BrowserLab was a nicer way to show the results. Can you verify my findings with a IE-browser?

BTW I don't see any BrowserLab non-IE problems with that https+ url: http://i.imgur.com/fOeqZ.png

Update:

1) Seems / only has an internal error when authenticated. Otherwise it works fine.

2) I don't have an IE browser handy but BrowserLab started working fine with all the non IE browsers so it Looks like the site is having issues with IE.

I expect it is just a temporary issue though as there have been a number of other bugs that Google has been working through with the launch.

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

Easily done with a Chrome extension, I think...

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.

Then the majority will not use it, because they will not want to abandon the old site entirely.

Wait, so it's not an OpenSocial container?

Opensocial is dead right? Myspace was the biggest user for it when it came out, it's dead now. LinkedIn signed up and has moved away from it.

OpenSocial 2.0 was just released last month. http://blog.opensocial.org/2011/08/announcing-release-of-ope...

OS may not be as popular but it is still in use.
