Some Google+ accounts may experience missing reposts

Some Google+ accounts may experience missing reposts

Google+ API has started to misbehave recently and for some accounts the latest posts are not being returned so Friends+Me is not able to repost them.

I've started discussion with the Google+ team regarding this matter and I'll keep you posted.

Thank you all for your patience.

    Thanks for the update. As you know, I experienced this problem yesterday (and haven't yet checked my other social media accounts today).

    Did not have the problem on Sunday, however Saturday was a disaster. Reposting wasa pain!

    Reposting seems working fine but the new posts on the Google+ acting as the source are gone missing for me.

    The problem may also by related to the Google+ account age and location restriction setting introduced recently.
    So please everybody please make sure no restrictions are enabled for your G+ accounts.
    This help page will help you to check the setting http://help.friendsplus.me/article/55-have-been-friends-me-skipping-your-new-posts-lately

    Friends+Me I have triple check my Age & Location restriction setting, and it is set to Anyone from earlier. And I remember, this new setting has been informed by Google+ many weeks ago...

    I noticed the problem of repost in my case is related to the usage of # hashtag for Friends+Me repost restriction. If I use # (including ), then it is not repost. When I am not using any #, it is still repost, at least yesterday.

    Hope this info helps you to find solution internally. Or other users can try my hypothesis and inform back to Alois in Friends+Me so he can help us soonest. :-)

    Yohanes G. Pauly it really is not a problem with a hashtag routing, Friends+Me is simply not getting new posts from Google+ for your account.
    Interesting thing about this all is that not all accounts are affected. Weird.

    not reposting on my end...  checked audience settings, that doesn't seem to be it...

  19. Friends+MeNovember 4, 2014 at 12:20 PM

    I've finally figured out what's wrong.
    Posts returned by the Google+ API are not being sorted by time. That means new posts can be placed at the end of the list or even never returned as was happening recently. The G+ team is working on a fix.

    Thank you all for your patience!

    Friends+Me Just tried to post and it died on me at a critical time. Was working all morning kicking ass and the one post that was mine and not a re-post got stuck in the 'Q' and did not go out to the other platforms.  Bumbed  out dood. ;(

    Also affected. Subscribing comments... Will Friends+Me repost older posts once it's fixed?

  24. Maureen FrostNovember 5, 2014 at 11:57 AM

    Still not resolved I see. Good question Ondřej Pokorný although some of mine will be out dated and of no use. I think this has been going on for a week now, a little too long.

  25. Friends+MeNovember 5, 2014 at 12:31 PM

    Ondřej Pokorný​​ I am afraid not. There's problem with g+ API feed that posts are not ordered by time of the last update so new posts may appear at the end of the returned list or not at all.
    G+ team is trying to fix the problem.

    Personal posts were working okay this morning, but business pages are still either not posting, or are posting with a massive delay. (just FYI, I know you're waiting for Google+ on this one!) :)

    Would it be difficult to implement sorting of the returned activity list in Friends+Me? It's a JSON structure, and provided their dates are consistently zoned etc, it should be "possible", although I have no idea how your app is designed so may be more difficult than it seems?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Friends+MeNovember 6, 2014 at 1:14 PM

    James Gray problem is that even if I fetch for example last 100 activities I cannot be sure the newest ones will be present there and to fetch more may get us too close to the daily limit with so many users.

    ReplyDelete
  35. James GrayNovember 6, 2014 at 1:30 PM

    Ugh - I see your problem. The API is really limited too. If Google simply added the ability list posts after a particular date/time stamp rather than regurgitate up to a random 100 activities, this would practically solve our dilemma. :(

    ReplyDelete
  36. James GrayNovember 6, 2014 at 2:03 PM

    Just did some poking around in the API - you can search for arbitrary strings in activities...but not dates(?!). Seriously Google, WTF? Surely date matching is orders of magnitude less difficult and resource intensive than free text search!!

  37. Alois BělaškaNovember 7, 2014 at 3:53 AM

    I've deployed a workaround which should kind a work but it's not a 100% solution.
    I started to fetch last 50 activities and sort them on F+M side. There's no guaranty that those returned 50 activities are the very last ones but for the time being it's better than nothing.

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted

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
