Hey Alex,

With the recent release or G Plus for Pages, any chance of integrating it with the current feature set?

Seems like it would be relatively easy to toss in there.

Cheers,

Rich

I'm assuming you mean the new Pages on G+? Don't know what the real name is, so just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing:
plus.google.com/118177253929143457733/posts (Angry Birds, of course)

If so, I'm sure we'll be looking into it in a bit. We just posted JLinked 1.0.0 yesterday (not really promoting it till later this month). We're already working on JFBC v4.1 for release later this year, and we're likely not adding new features to that right now. You can be assured though that we'll be looking into something like this in a future release. We're still figuring out the longer term strategy for doing all the social integration, while managing pricing, features, and support in a manner that's sustainable. We have every intention of tackling G+ in 2012 in some shape or form though.

Thanks, as always, for the feedback!
Alex

Hi Alex,

LOL...yeah the Angry Birds example is it.

Basically it's one addition to the head of the document with the Google Publisher ID, that ties any Plus 1's on individual pages to the G+ Page account.

Then there's the option for adding an Add to circles with another call. Similar to how we were adding twitter integration before your latest additions.

I've already just tossed the Publisher ID into the a template and will probably add the "Add to Circle" into the content plug in by hand. Just haven't gotten to that point as yet.

And yes I completely understand where you're coming from as far as the longer term strategy with the social integration. Thankfully you've almost got all the "Main" channels covered already.

Cheers,

Rich

I'm sure there's documentation I can easily find, but if you have a link, that'd be great.

Sounds easier than I was expecting. Still (likely) won't make it into 4.1, but glad they didn't make it overly difficult.

Thanks,
Alex
