Sync with Google +

I'm looking for an app that will automatically publish my blogs to Google +. I plan to migrate by blogs to that app ASAP unless Networked Blogs has immediate plans to do so.

IS there no answer from Networkedblogs?? Please Milton, if you find one app to do that, please, told us!
Thanks!
Mario.
Mario, I decided to drop NetworkedBlogs. Instead, I added a sharing toolbar to each of my apps, allowing visitors to share the post to Google+, Facebook and Twitter. As soon as I post to my blog I visit my own page and use the toolbar to share the link. It's a bit more time-consuming, but it's hands-on, and I KNOW it's being shared!
I would really like to find something that does this, and I'd like for it to be Networked Apps. I don't want to have to manually share on Google+ when everyone else has the links posted automatically. It's a waste.
Michelle, I completely agree! I just looked at networkedblog's Summary of Recent Updates (http://help.networkedblogs.com/entries/20560532-summary-of-recent-updates) and it mentions NOTHING about Google +. What does that say about NetworkedBlogs? What does it say about Google +. Is Google + still a minor player? I really don't know, so if I don't know, perhaps Google + IS too inconsequential for NetworkedBlogs to include. It is a big deal to me, so I've dropped any syndication through NetworkedBlogs, still looking for something else to take its place. I wasn't real happy with NetworkedBlog's reliability either. When I changed passwords to my Twitter and Facebook accounts, NetworkedBlogs failed to post any of my blogs to either account. Makes sense, but I got no notification of the problem until I actually visited my NetworkedBlogs account, several weeks after I'd changed my passwords and several weeks after I'd noticed my posts not showing up. Mostly my fault, I guess, but it seems that NetworkedBlogs could have notified me.
Wow, that's messed up. Is there a warning somewhere saying that would happen? I never even thought about that. Either way, this Google+ thing is about to become big in the book blog world (which is why I need this to work). They're taking away GFC on all non-Blogger blogs, and they're pushing Google+ hard. If that's where people are going, I want my blog to stay current, and that means my Google+ needs to have my blog posts linked. You'd think SOMEONE would be doing this, but I don't see it happening anywhere! :o(
Yes, I am still searching too... no luck.

We're planning to support Google+ as soon as Google opens it up for third party apps. Right now they have an API for pulling data from Google+, but they don't allow pushing to it. There are rumors that they will be opening that up soon, and if they do, we'll support it right away.
While Networked Blogs is working on this, I can offer two temporary solutions. I am using the second solution.
Solution #1:
If you have a Blogger account, there is now an option to syndicate your Blogger posts to Google+. In other words, when you make a new post on Blogger, a little window will come up in which you can choose the option to syndicate to Google+. This is NOT an automated process. You have to manually choose to syndicate to Google+ each time that you make a post on Blogger.
Solution #2:
This is the solution that I am using. It is an automated process which requires no intervention on your part, once you set it up. It involves using the free version of the OnlyWire service. I use this service to syndicate my self-hosted WordPress blog to Google+. For specific instructions on how to set it up properly, please visit this post on my blog:

I hope this helps some of you.
ditto- ditto - get on the ball networked blogs! wtheck?
OK... in case you haven't noticed, the new Facebook Timeline deescalate the prominence of your automatic posting from Networked Blogs and drops the images entirely. If you want to regain the prominence up on the wall, you must now post your new content manually. Uggggggggh!
Quick Update on this feature:
Last week Google+ announced that they will not allow third-party apps to publish to their platform. At least not yet. So it looks like this is not coming soon. But if Google opens up the platform, we'll add support for automatic publishing right away.
I just wanted to remind everyone that as of early this morning, I am still able to automatically syndicate my self-hosted WordPress blog entries to my Google+ account using the same OnlyWire method that I mention in my previous post above. You will find specific instructions on how to do this at the link that I included in my previous post here. Let me reiterate that similar to Twitter, this method will only post your blog entry title, as well as the link to it, and not much more, but that is better than nothing. I don't have to intervene at all. I just post on my blog, and within minutes it appears on Google+, as well as here on NetworkedBlogs, and on my Facebook page, thanks to NetworkedBlogs. I am curious about Waleed's comment. I wonder if that means that Google may soon cut off the current method that I am using. Of course, technically-speaking, a WordPress blog is not really a third party app, is it? And OnlyWire isn't an app either; it is a syndication service. Don't you just love competition?
OnlyWire will let you do only 300 submissions TOTAL for their free evaluation. I do think it is cool they are capable of posting to Google+, but without Google's official allowance to do this automatically, I'm not sure how OnlyWire is doing this.
