Google Friend Connect - first (premature) thoughts
http://www.afhill.com/ blog/ 2008/ 05/ 12/ google-friend-connect-first-premature-thou...
My thoughts are premature, because I haven’t actually seen Google Friend Connect (GFC; can I call it GFC?) in action, I’ve only seen the few screenshots that google has released. That being said, I thought I’d respond to my impressions or understandings of the service, before seeing what it really is. That way if I’m wrong, I can claim ignorance In a press release, it was stated that “Google Friend Connect is about helping the ‘long tail’ of sites become more social.” The idea was that “without requiring coding experience”, GFC (geez, I’m totally hurting my search engine ranking by not spelling that out) would provide site maintainers with a way to tap into the benefits of social networks, attracting and engaging more visitors.
