Google has an awful history with regards to communication with developers and communication with customers (read: very few public APIs and terrible customer service).

And they tend to shut down their APIs (or even whole projects) just when you start to think they're going to be reliable this time around.

So why do you think then that they should offer a Write API? Shouldn't they put a lot of thought on their API offering so it won't be shut down in the future?
