Ask HN: What would you like built on top of the G+ API when it is released?

15 points by adrianwaj ↗ HN
You've been using G+ for a while, what apps would you like to see built on top its upcoming API?

You might have an app already in mind that you plan to build and don't wish to reveal, so this is more of a feature and app request thread.

A way to post on other networks that brings the people reading those posts and their feedback back into G+.

The last thing I want is to auto-post a G+ post on Facebook, and trigger an interesting conversation there that I don't participate in. And I don't want to turn G+ into a megaphone where I'm simply talking at people without enabling them to talk back. That's not a conversation.

Thats sort of what +1 does. So, in essence, the ability to comment on a user's +1s?

I use Gmail to take down random thoughts or notes about different business ideas that I have...mainly because of the search functionality. I started using G+ for the same purpose. It would be awesome to be able to search through the different streams.

I would like to see a Microsoft Outlook contacts importer.

I am planning to build an iPad app for it, if it hasn't existed yet after the API release

Integrate Facebook Like into G+ posts and G+ +1 on FB posts

A newer better interface... the feed is too hard to read. A native application for your choice of OS would be nice too.

An easier contacts organizer.

Not for tech savvy but for regular people. A relative of mine has recently switched to an android phone and finds a real hassle to complete all contacts and categorize them (as in circles).

A well done contact manager could be of great value.

Also, twitter and posterous publishing to g+ would be great
