Vic Gundotra , the head of Google+ team, says that the social network is still without an API. Gundotra did not guarantee that an API for Google+ will release at the end 2012. In addition to looking out for users, he is also looking out for developers. He says, "I just don’t want to do it because I’ve seen other [platforms] open APIs, develop an ecosystem of third-party clients, and then shut down the API. I’m going to release that API when I’m confident we’re not going to screw over developers.” Gundotra was critical of Facebook placing ads in photo albums and said that not too many people have turned off social search.
Gundotra explains the reason behind overflooding from third party apps in users' streams. He says that when an application is not ranked high enough in a stream, the app pushes out too many posts, which can hide authentic content coming from users. He said that when Google opens up the Google+ API, they're not going to revoke access. When moderator, Guy Kawasaki said that developers constantly adapt to Facebook's changing API, Gundotra came back with, "We hold ourselves to a higher standard".
