Google Launches Friend Connect:
Hot on the heels of Google SearchWiki comes the formal launch by Google of Friend Connect. It’s a significant move for social media, intended to bridge the gap between traditional web sites and social networking sites.
By adding a small amount of program code to a web site, webmasters will be able to add social media gadgets – such as games, adding comments to pages and video sharing without the need to develop applications themselves.
It sounds like an easy way to interact directly with visitors to your site: we’ll have more information on this development in future posts. In the meantime, let us know how you find it, or feel free to ask any questions in the comments below.
