This PHP script will generate an RSS Feed for Google Plus users. You can need to replace the PlusID with your own Profile ID and the Google API key that can be obtained from code.google.com.
Google+ allows you to retrieve content from the network but the API doesn’t allow you post content on Google Plus. Code courtesy @SplitBrain/Github.
