New look for link shares on Google+ introduced some new problems to G+ API.

New look for link shares on Google+ introduced some new problems to G+ API.

Activities received over G+ API do not contain any information about the link itself, no url, no title, nothing. Bug was reported (thanks Gerwin Sturm) but it may take Google+ team some time to fix it.

So for the time being we do not recommend to use new links if is it possible.

UPDATE: Google fixed it! Problem solved.

    Are there certain APIs that are affected and others that are not? It sounds like data in activities.list is no longer getting populated?

    Did Google+ changed the way image thumbnail is been selected or showed? I couldn't select an image thumbnail to post AND the image and links are not appearing after Friends+ Me post to twitter.

    Any update on this?  Has it been fixed?  Would be nice to find out via an update here rather than chancing a link posting.

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted Most people have no idea that the way in which they are sharing images on #SocialMedia  or on their blogs could actually get them banned, blacklisted, or worse! In this next part of my Sharing Images Online series I take on the heavy task of explaining the legal side of sharing images in a simple way that everyone can understand.  Read the full post here:  http://dustn.tv/sharing-images-responsibly/ It basically boils down to this - you either have explicit written consent to use an image, or you don't. And if you use someone's copyrighted image because you just so happened to find it online you risk having your social media account deleted/banned or your website blacklisted! Let's all make the internet a better place for creators and curators alike and stop sharing images recklessly, and stop supporting those who knowingly (or unknowingly) do as well .  In the full post I tried to keep it as dead simple as
