Will Google+ Ever Get A Full Read/Write API?

It's a use thing.

I'm following the majority of my family and friends on google plus (yes, wow, they all have accounts) and not following any of the I'm-using-this-as-a-blog accounts like hacker news, google developers, etc.

When I login, what do I see?

"Nov 15, 2012 - Shared from +1 - Public"

The previous one?

"Oct 12, 2012 - Google Mail - Public"

So I mean, it's not like no one is using it at all, but no one I care about updates from is using it.

G+ is long-form Twitter with a few mods. There are definitely people on it that would interest you, but they won't come to you.

Family-and-friends are on FB already, so using G+ for the same thing will be disappointing for years unless you have a very active set of friends. I keep FB private, G+ public. I have a few Twitter accounts for different apps, but I mostly consume lightly.
