dlvr.it -> G+ Pages
dlvr.it will now auto-post from feeds to G+ pages. For money, as it only works for the moment on paid plans.
Not sure what I think about this at all, at all. I've been using dlvr.it for quite a while to auto-post from G+ to Twitter and Facebook. Presumably this means that G+ has a write API but it's only enabled for API keys used by their select partners. Given that it's paid plans only, the downside is that it's likely only to be used by commercial interests. And note it's to pages not to an individual's profile posts.

now supports posting to Google+ Pages!
To make a payment plan worthwhile it probably has to be commercial and I caught myself thinking about RoI and how to get it as soon as I saw the prices (from $9.99 a month) even though they are (in relative terms) small. I agree with you that the majority of early users will be thinking commercially, and that might not be the best strategy for Google... or it might be...
Behind the scenes how possible is it that Google are making a micropayment charge for all posts made through the API so for them (Google) it's actually a money making exercise?
