Export posts from Google Reader to Google+

Hello All,

This will be about the interaction of the services of the Good Corporation Google between each other, until they themselves have done this, maybe someone will come in handy.

I found a way to export messages from Google Reader to Google+ in fact in two clicks, and the whole message is exported , and not just the title with urls as it is written on Google.



If anyone is interested, welcome under Kat

Vobshchem, as they say, it was evening, there was nothing to do, I was looking for ways to post messages directly from google reader to google plus and twitter.

At first I played with twitter, everything is simple there, the functionality is conceived in the settings - Send to , the name $ {title} and the short URL $ {short-url} are transmitted

. It is also very well implemented thereBlogger, the entire message is transmitted to it, with html tags as expected.

But this is all conceived by Google, and cannot be edited for personal needs, but below there is the opportunity to create your own custom link using variables: Now you need to determine the address where the data will be transferred, i.e. input address of the new message. In particular, Google+ doesn’t have such an address, on the version from a computer, but if you go from a mobile, there is a button - Publish with a very specific address that you can use. What actually was done:
${source}The source of the item
${title}The title of the item
${url}The URL of the item
${short-url}A shortened URL that redirects to the item






Further excavations, the analysis of the source pages and the method of scientific poking led to the finding of another variable not specified in the description, which just conveys the contents of the message, this ${body}

url variable for Google+ converted to m.google.com/app/plus/x/?v=compose&hideloc=1&content=*${title}*%0A_from%20${source}_%0A%0A${body}%0A%0Aисточник%3A%20${short-url}

Now adding a post looks like this:
Open the news we need (message) in Google Reader, click Send to, there we select Google+.

A window for entering a new message in Google + opens, there you can fix for whom to publish the message, and click Publish.

You’ll get a post in Google Plus of this kind:


In exactly the same way, you can configure the transfer to Gmail and a bunch of other services, you just need to find a separate input page and analyze the necessary fields on this page.
