Where's my access to an RSS/Atom feed of G+ posts?
Where's my access to pushing content from another network or platform onto G+?
Other than Data Liberation, were's my ability to extract content from G+?
It's a fucking silo. Always has been.

There's a read API for activities, but its not RSS/Atom.

Push it from the integration app as App Activities using the Moments API.

There's read APIs for the various kinds of Google+ content.

Well, except for all the ways to get content in and out of it, sure.

Why not RSS/Atom? I can use that for every other feed I follow.
I've looked for push tools and haven't found them.
Links on this stuff you're referring to?
It's still a fucking silo.
It is true that there was a substantial delay before G+ was made a public external platform (there were initially some external, selected partner, integrations), but G+ has been a public external platform for some time.
> Google has offered no useful APIs for it
"Useful" is subjective, of course, but they offer a fairly extensive set of G+ platform APIs. [1] It's true there isn't a write API for the Facebook-style news feed, but that feed isn't central to G+-the-platform, only to G+-the-product.
