Hi Everyone
Hi Everyone, We've just released Google+ Exporter , an application that helps you to export your Google+ feeds (profile, pages, collections, communities, including all comments) to Wordpress eXtended RSS, Blogger and JSON file. Another available option is to export all posts published to profile, pages, collections, and communities to JSON file, including all comments ! Transform exported JSON data can into imports for other services, or you can use JSON export as a full generic backup of your posts. The free version of the application enables you to export up to 3000 posts. You can buy a license key to get unlimited experience. I would love to know your opinion, suggestions or requests. Thank you! You can find more detailed info in the blog post https://blog.friendsplus.me/export-google-plus-feeds-45926c925891 Updates can be downloaded from page https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jkaut9054xzwd1e/AAAkXT7j7I8qi7ryMJqBx0oxa?dl=0&lst= UPDATE version 1.4.0 / 13-12-2018 : * NEW lin
It just looks better this way :)
ReplyDeleteMohamed Ibrihen still 30 minutes, but it should be back to 5 minutes quite soon.
ReplyDeleteA big thank you to you guys to what you have done so far and I knoe with time this is only going to get better!
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan. Higher, faster, better ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNext feature request: Use . ? ! as end-of-tweet characters for republishing from Google+ to Twitter. Even better: Use the appearance of a second asterisk, for those of us who like to put headlines on our Google+ posts using bolded text.
In other words, what I'm looking for is a way to use what I write on Google+ to control what appears on Twitter, and do it in a way thats invisible to the people following me on G+.
ReplyDeleteMy last tweeted Google+ post with the new http://goo.gl shortened url wouldn't open the appended link :(
ReplyDeleteEdit: Here is a Dropbox hosted screenshot image of message recieved when clicking on the aforementioned short link - http://db.tt/OWDaD0hJ
Chris Pilgrim I've checked it and it looks like some weird glitch in our shortener code and we're unable to simulate this unfortunate situation. Thank you for reporting this but for now we'll have to wait for another appearance and hopefully will dig out some more info.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if there were some indication on Facebook posts that something was a re-share and that the text was not my own. Don't necessarily want to include original link just to indicate the words weren't me. Great stuff otherwise!
ReplyDeleteAlois Bělaška My latest posts are working fine now :) Initial problem seems to be a one off.
ReplyDeleteCasey Artner more people wants that feature. I guess I can extend "---" separator to empty_new_line+"--- Reshared post from USER NAME". What do you think?
ReplyDeleteChris Pilgrim awesome, that's the way I like it :)
ReplyDeleteAlois Bělaška Sounds good to me, but would have to see it to be sure and obviously your call.
ReplyDeleteCasey Artner I am working on it right now
ReplyDeleteI've changed separator between user message and shared message to '▼ Reshared Post From {ORIGINAL_USER_NAME} ▼' .
ReplyDeleteLooks like links are broken. Try this tweet and link:

Eiji Kitamura checking
ReplyDeleteChris Pilgrim Eiji Kitamura it was a bug, fixed it. Thank you guys.
ReplyDeleteJust a "bug" report for Friends+Me - when you share a photo to twitter, the photo is horribly distorted on the twitter "view photo" link, but displays properly when you link back to the google+ page.
ReplyDeleteAlois Bělaška Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRodney Thomas yes I see https://twitter.com/GoSkins81/status/279636743643361280 picture is really distorted. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it. Looks like TwitterBot got mad ;)
ReplyDeletehahaha - thankfully my wife and daughter are much better looking than that twitter distortion
ReplyDeleteRodney Thomas :)
ReplyDeleteGreat improvements. The reshared post indication on FB is also much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteOh, and you stripped out the tags on Twitter summaries. :-)
ReplyDeleteStill F+Me shortlinks on FB though, eh?
Christopher Carr what shortlinks do you mean?
ReplyDeleteOn FB, "Repost of Google+ Photo Album" is followed by a r.friendsplus.me/long_string link.
ReplyDeleteChristopher Carr oh I see, actually you can disable this backlink by disabling "Always append a link to original Google+ activity" for your Facebook account.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me : Understood.
ReplyDeleteDoes FB not allow goog shortlinks?
Christopher Carr I think they do, but I have had not the time to implement it yet ;)
ReplyDeleteAh. Well you've clearly been busy lately (considering all the improvements). No hurries. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlois Bělaška I rebooted my FB account nearly a year ago -- now just meat-space acquaintances, real friends, and family. Thanks to you, they are all (selectively) now subjected to my nerdy G+ activity. Tehehe :-) ... perhaps they would not care to thank you, but yours is now the best way to pipe stuff G+ --> Twitter, FB.
ReplyDeleteThis Friends+Me endeavor will look good on a future resume, I'm pretty sure.
Thank you Christopher Carr I can't even express how grateful I am for your appreciation. It all started as my own itch I wanted to scratch :)
ReplyDeleteChristopher Carr I've fixed the link in photo reposts to Facebook. Should be shorter.
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteI had the same itch -- but I just don't have all the requisite knowledge and skills; would have taken me a year to figure out everything you've done in the last week. :-)
Don't be so hard on yourself. It's just a matter of time, hard work and a lot of fun of course :D
ReplyDeleteAlois Bělaška Here's a strange thing:
ReplyDelete"Warning: This Message Contains Blocked Content: Some content in this message has been reported as abusive by Facebook users."
This is the post:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/104472936943065371401/posts/5q1yEfgc9ub
I assume it's an FB API thing. But what the heck...?
Christopher Carr yes this is a Facebook thing :) For months I am trying to figure out why this happens, so far no luck. Maybe curse less :D
ReplyDelete"Maybe curse less"
ReplyDeleteThey are flagging "ass," apparently. Which is...well, pretty damn ridiculous.
Just another thing to add to my list of why FB sucks...
Got this again:
ReplyDeleteRepost failed. Warning: This Message Contains Blocked Content: Some content in this message has been reported as abusive by Facebook users.
Here's the post: https://plus.google.com/u/0/104472936943065371401/posts/CFxJnku94XZ
No coarse language at all. What the heck, FB?
