Is it possible to dynamically share posts or links to google plus page using rss feed?
I can automatically share links to my Twitter page or my Facebook page using any Rss Feed, but I can't find any similar application or tool to send my site posts to my google + page automatically
I hope someone can help me find a tool or give me a hint to develop an application can do that task
Some of the third-party tools might enable you to do this for your Google+ Page (not for an individual), such as HootSuite as this Video seems to suggest. However, you should be careful to follow the Google+ user content and conduct policy and to make quality posts to avoid having your content becoming classified as spam.
There is no API that is available to the public that will allow your own app to publish content for a profile.

We are trying to develop an application for scheduling social media posts.
So far we have the Facebook intergration ready, and we are heading to implement Instagram,
but according to the official documentation (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/content-publishing) -> "The Content Publishing API is in closed beta with Facebook Marketing Partners and Instagram Partners only. We are not accepting new applicants at this time.".
Can you please tell us how we can do a content publishing to Instagram using their API for better scheduling and/or automation?
Is the Instagram Partners program closed for good? Can we apply for acceptance?
Is there any other way to publish to instagram a bulk of posts (say 30-40) to different accounts if not using the API?
Thanks
This link which is right here might help you publish contents on Instagram, especially, Photos. (Link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/advanced)
On the left, check for 'photos upload', there you'll find some methods to publish contents.
They've showed it with an example using cURL.
[Edit:] As #rodin's notified, you can now post contents(using Instagram Content publishing API) to instagram without being a facebook partner.

I want to post a message on google plus business page. Is there any way to do this.
I am confused between interactive post, app activities and moment.
Should I use Moment to post on business page?
I go through google api site documents, but not getting any solutions.
Please let me know if there is any other way to post in google plus page.
It depends on exactly what you mean by "post" and by a "business page".
I'm assuming that the "business page" is one that is not associated with a Google App account. If you're meaning something that will show up on your stream, and that people who have you in a circle will see your post - there is no public API from Google that will do what you want. You need to work with one of their partners, such as HootSuite, to automatically share messages to your stream.
Interactive posts are ways that a visitor to your website can be prompted to share something from your site to their stream on Google+. These interactive posts include both a link to your site as well as an additional "call to action" button to an individual item from your site. It does not automate posts, although it can make some parts of it easier.
App activities and moments are the same thing. They are meant to record actions that take place on your website on Google+, but they do not directly share anything into your stream. Instead, they create an event in your Google+ profile that can be seen only by those you permit it to - you can then, if you wish, share that event to your stream. So while the moment can be generated automatically, it still requires manual action to share it.
Finally, if you have a page that is associated with a Google App account, you can create posts automatically, but those posts are limited in scope. They are only visible to, at most, other people in the same App Domain as the account. This is useful for using Google+ as a communication tool inside an organization, but not useful for communicating with customers, for example.
In facebook, we can specify a web page url and add comments to it, or fetch comments for it, with the Graph API.
Later we can fetch the comments for the page, using a sample code, and display them on my page, as a widget, using a javascript code.
Similarly, is it possible to setup comments for a web page virtually using google plus, and display them with a code, using the API ? I came across google plus client library for php, but not sure about how to achieve what i wanted, with it.
Currently there is no public write API for Google+ or a way to bi-directionally integrate Google+ comments with an outside web page.
You can incorporate comments from a Google+ post onto your static page. Here are a couple of resources that can illustrate how:
The full documentation for the Google+ read API is at https://developers.google.com/+/api/ and there are libraries for PHP and JavaScript at https://developers.google.com/+/downloads/
http://little418.com/2011/12/google-comments-on-your-static-html-blog.html contains some examples about how to echo comments from a Google+ post.
I'm currently working on a Google Hangouts app that, among other things, features posting links to certain pages on the user's Google+ page.
Because the shared content is mainly a visual thing (dynamically generated images, to be precise), I have been looking at ways of having the post
on user's stream display a big, full-width picture, essentially an effect similar to one visible here (disclaimer: I do not endorse the company linked in any way, it was simply one of the first examples I have found of the look).
Now, I've read through Google+ documentation on Share Button and Snippets about ways to have sharing from a single click and customisation of the content that comes with the link, but visually, the attached thumbnail is somewhat smaller than what I'd find ideal for the task (as visible ).
The example of a big picture display was tied to the photo sharing functionality, so I've looked at Google+ API, to see if there's a way to automate it, but as stated on the API docs landing page, "The Google+ API currently provides read-only access to public data.". No ability to pursue the goal through the official channels then.
Next step, GitHub. There are some sites for which the wrappers around their internal communication have been written, thus creating sort of unofficial API, so I tried my luck there. Among various libraries, I have found one that was not a wrapper around an official API, google-plus-extension-jsapi, but being written for the context of Chrome extensions rather than webpages, I couldn't get it to work, mainly due to usage of WebSQL and cross-domain XMLHTTPRequests.
Without any further leads, I ask the community thus - is there any way for a webpage app to provide the user with the ability to share a full-width picture on their Google+ stream or am I limited to standard sharing thumbnails?
I will confirm, you can not do what you're trying to do using the Google+ API because there is no stream write API and you do not have control over how shares will render.
As you have already determined, you can not write posts, such as a picture, directly to a user's stream, without the user's interaction (e.g. share). For branded pages, there is the Pages API, but it is currently not public and would be restricted to Pages as opposed to People/Profiles.
You can generate a share link to an external image and then if the user clicks it, the image can appear in their stream. As you noticed, the image will be a small thumbnail as opposed to a full-bleed photo and will render as a share - undesirable if you want the image to fill the whole stream area.
There are multiple servies that let you insert pictures and videos into the twitter stream. - with instagram and youtube being two of the first that come to mind.
The question is - how do I do that?
If I want a custom image, and I want to link them back to my site - do I have to use the /statuses/update_with_media.json endpoint (which adds it to pics.twitter.com) along with my own link? Meaning two links?
Is there a trick to how these sites do it, or are they officially supported by Twitter?
To play "in-line" on Twitter.com. Only a select few services will allow this.
in case of videos for example, refer to this article on Twitters website.
https://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/109-tweets-messages/articles/75603-how-to-post-videos-on-twitter
You would need two links if you wanted to host a picture on Twitter itself and have it link to another place. The pictures hyper-link would be converted and another link would need to be added next to it.
