Google Friend Connect

Wow…Google has launched Google Friend Connect service for website that is not social networks but wants to be social now it is very easy with Google Friend Connect. I was dreaming for a site where I can access all email services in one page and Google friend connect is where we can see, visit, invite, access emails, and interact with old or new friends from social sites on the web. They can use their favourite application on their site, but one thing is that site owner can’t change user’s data what they delivers. I think it will be more helpful to user is to make all logins in one page, by using this service they can invite, visit, interact with friends as well as business partners. Every thing we can grab under one site.

Through Google Friend Connect any website owner can add snippet of code to his or her website and get social features running on their site without any programming, like user registration, login in multiple email services, member gallery and message posting. Basically, what Friend Connect does is gather this data and from big social sites and posts it in uniform way. It works as third party sites and big repositories of social data. It will help to increase number of visitors.

First you need to login in Google friend connect http://www.google.com/friendconnect/. You can choose the application from gallery which you want to implement on your site. You can choose the gadgets created by Google and the Open Social developer community for example photo sharing, gaming etc, then copy the snippets of code for the gadget which you want to implement. Paste the snippets where you want it will be up and running on your site.

Google getting all secure information because of this feature and later taking monopoly in web. Am looking forward for webmasters to add more applications for Google friend connect so that it will be more user friendly and a very good application.
