G+ doesn't have sharing APIs like the other social networks.  This means even if we enhance the new social buttons to share on G+, you'll not be able to measure the social life from G+.  Given the limited value of sharing without analytics, we have punted this out for now.  Planning to revisit in 2H 2014.

Not at the moment. The reason there are still legacy social buttons is cause they haven't yet integrated G+. I know Raj was pretty concerned with it 6 or 9 months or so ago.

Well, yes and no.

If you're using Marketo's built-in social sharing, you're out of luck--but if you're willing to build your own social link and track that, it's actually pretty straightforward: just use a link structured like

https://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A//www.marketo.com

The markup that will display for the share is based on your o:graph tags (which is, incidentally, used by Facebook/LinkedIn as well).

Alternately, you can just use Google's own code and add a little bit of JS to record it.
