Here are four posts from Singularity 2045 on G+. It would be amazing if quantum graphene mice had been created with the ability to cure Alzheimer's and viruses, a type of synbio AI-Frankenmouse, but these are four separate posts, which are nevertheless amazing. It is a great demonstration of general sci-tech progress.

Singularity 2045 Google-Plus Progress
Here are some posts from the Singularity 2045 on G+. The G+ page is progressing well, there are currently 20,039 people following the page. The post below regarding quantum black holes is the most shared and plused post so far; on 8th October 2013 at the time of this blog-post it has 174 +1s and 69 shares.

Sci-Tech Feeds To Possibly Include
I am discovering new feeds all the time, in a previous post (http://futuristicreader.blogspot.com/2013/06/boycott-twitter-because-acquiring-feeds.html) I noted some good feeds for future reference. In this post I will expand on my notes. The following feeds are not currently (7th Sept 2013) listed on FR but perhaps I will slot them in somewhere, or least one of them. I will probably update this post when I discover new feeds to possibly include on FR. In the meantime you may want to add one of these to your reader.
Discover Magazine
There is also the Facebook feed for 33rd Square to consider. To acquire feeds for Facebook pages you need to add the ID number to the following link (directly after the = sign): http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=
The Facebook feed for 33rd Square is therefore: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=138474689598871
There are various ways to find the Facebook page ID, you can view the source code (regarding the relevant page) then search for "profile_id" or page_id= or perhaps the simplest method is to use findmyfacebookid.com. Facebook often changes the ability for people to acquire feeds so the above method for FB feeds may not work in the future.
Note also AI Is Awesome and Transhumanism on Facebook.
I could also add the G+ page feed 33rd Square, created via: http://gplus-to-rss.appspot.com/.
I think I might replace feeds.wired.com/GearFactor (AKA wired.com/gadgetlab/feed) with feeds.wired.com/wiredscience.

Here is the feed for @33rdsquare http://t.co/AaCSQstPwi, I might slot this in to the #FuturisticReader site at some point.

GooglePlus Killed Feeds For Communities
Google+ has killed the feeds for Communities. Feeds for G+ Pages continue to function. To replace the dead Communities feeds I've added Webs E and I removed, put into storage, one of the dead G+ Social tabs (Soc C) to make room for Webs E.
The Social tab B, which formerly contained G+ Community feeds, has now been rearranged to contain a mix of feeds from various social sites, which means there are now only two Social tabs, the reddit one (unchanged) and the updated Social B tab (a mixture of feeds from social pages).
When the feeds died I initially wrote: "Update, 17th Aug 2013: G+ Communities feeds are currently not working; this problem will either be fixed soon (issue logged) or FR feeds will be rearranged (alternate ones added)."
So with the feeds not fixed on 28th August 2013 the rearrangement plan is now implemented.
Below is the original code I was using for G+ Social feeds (B and C) on the Index page, which will be logged here to use if it is ever possible to reinstate the feeds for G+ Communities. I doubt G+ will actually fix the feeds but this is OK. I'm actually becoming fond of the new feeds in Webs E so maybe Google via its in the way guy mentality did me a favour. Despite my fondness for Webs E I'll probably leave some comments in the suggestion box here because a wide variety of feed-options is good.
I've discovered Google+ API product manager Thor Mitchell has commented on the demise of Communities feeds: "We've taken no deliberate action to break this. However that behaviour was always somewhat accidental, and therefore risky to use." So it seems the "accidental" Communities feeds will likely be permanently broken.
