Sorry if you have previously answered this. I found some posts from last year on the same subject but nothing more recent.

Do you plan to release something similar to JFBConnect for Twitter and Google+? I am holding off on purchasing JFBConnect because I want to know I will be able to add Twitter and Google+ to my easy login / registration options. The other options that are out there that do cover all three don't seem all that appealing to me. One of the reason is the inability to skin them however I want. Some I think, or at least hope, I can do with JFBConnect.

Thanks for your time.

EDIT: Of course after I posted this I found another post asking the same question LOL A late summer release was mentioned for Twitter. Is this still planned? Is late summer around September? Late this year or early next year was mentioned for Google+. Is this still planned. If those time frames are accurate then I'll be happy getting JFBConnect now and adding Twitter and Google+ over the next few months.

Twitter is still planned for this year, but it likely won't be until later in the year. Development has begun, but it's going to be a bit more complex than we originally scoped due to substantial differences in their APIs from both Facebook or LinkedIn. Not insurmountable, but likely means we won't have a version out until around November.

The plan is to begin a Google+ extension directly after Twitter is released, but I can't really give a better timeline than first half of next year for when that would be available.

Hope that helps explain. Obviously, with development, anything can change.. so I don't want you to lock any decisions for your site or plans around the timeline above. We hope to hit those as they'd be great for us and our users, but as you've seen in other posts, we've been optimistic on our timelines before.

If you have any other questions, just let us know, and good luck!

Thanks for your response. I understand time frames slip. I guess I'm more concerned with knowing it is going to happen sooner rather than later. Which seems to be the case. I'll be purchasing JFBConnect after I finish tweaking the aesthetics of the site. So hopefully in a couple weeks :) (time frame prone to slippage lol)
