Chrome extension shares Google+ on Twitter and Facebook
Google unveiled its social network late on Tuesday to a few invited users, and already, one user has built a Chrome extension which will let Google+ users share their Google+ posts on Facebook and Twitter.
TechCrunch's Robin Wauters, who tested the app, says that it still could do with some bug-fixing, but that's not surprising given that the developer patched it together in a few hours.
"My first Google+ post!" Mohamed Mansour tweeted, "...They should really allow sharing to Twitter option."
Three hours later, Mansour was tweeting a link to his "simple extension" that allowed easy sharing between Google+, Twitter and Facebook.
Wooing over Facebook followers (which is now bigger than most large countries) could be Google+'s biggest obstacle to success.
But tools like this one, which funnel Google+ content onto existing platforms, could smoothen out Google+'s first few months as a newbie on the social network circuit.
