It's about time they did it.

It's about time they did it. Many developers are just drooling over this.

What a great way to connect

What a great way to connect with your friend in future.

Friend connect API is a

Friend connect API is a pretty powerful plugin that gets you more traffic.

Great tool

I am very excited to see this and can't wait to take it for a test run!

Google taking another step toward Web Domination

I think I like the idea of Google Friend Connect - certainly a nice neat way for blog / website owners to create their own little piece of the Web2.0 social world. But sometimes I get a little concerned about the domination of almost all aspects of the web by Google.

Not understanding the movement

I dont understand the movement google has in the web 2.0 marketplace. To me it seems as though is always two steps behind other innovators.

Very cool api

Talk about taking massive strides in competing with today's social media genre!

WoW Nice concept

The Friend Connect API is very good news for website users

Very good technology

The Friend Connect API is very good news for website users: people can login into different websites by using one account. It will bring a lot of convenience to people and save a lot of time. And users will not need to remember different account names and passwords. I will try the connect API on my website to see how it works.

Thanks for sharing!

great

Login to all site with one account is one fastastic dream.

Thanks for job and sorry for english..

Social Media will soon be at the top

I think in coming days social media willl be the touch base with everywebsites, as soon as people come to know and discuss on various topics...

I've tryed MSN Passport without success

Well... I've tried the MS Passport without success and I hope it could be more easier and works too...

Integration finished

We've just finished integrating it on www.traffic-update.co.uk. The plugins were nice and easy to get up and running, and pretty much customisable to the look and feel of the site. Whether anyone will find it beneficial we'll have to wait and see.

Perhaps only a matter of time before they plaster it with Adsense ads?

So far, so good.

I just played around with

I just played around with the Google Friend Connect and am not impressed with it, at least at this stage of its development. Seems to need a lot more developmental work. This is unlike Google.

Why in the world are google,

Why in the world are google, twitter and facebook all trying to replicate MSN Passport? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but MSN Passport was created specifically for this purpose, and predates all of the modern attempts by at least 10 years.

It was tried before and failed .. why should it be any better now?

Google Friend Connect

Google Friend Connect has just been added to BeingEarthly.com Go there and try it out! See what you think of Friend Connect.

Thanks, I will try to use

Thanks, I will try to use this Google Friend Connect thingy on your site.

End of other social sites?

Looks to me like Google have found their answer to conquering the social media world. Now the INTERNET will be social, not just a few sites on it, or at least that's the direction we're heading. As designers and marketers we need to think how we can use this, and after only a few minutes of thought the possibilities already seem endless.

Forgive my ignorance but on

Forgive my ignorance but on the user's end, how can you tell if the site you are logging in with your Google, Yahoo and AIM accounts are legit Google Friend Connect codes?

Now things are starting to get INTERESTING!

Great news for Google, Social Media and the Friend Connect world. I anticipate a lot of new plug-ins to be introduced in the coming months! Rock on Google and Matt Cutts!

AWESOME FRIEND CONNECT

OMG! I WANT THIS TODAY! I LOVE IT. WAY TO STREAMLINE SOCIAL NETWORKING.

Divide and conquor

Maybe google are trying to make people go away from the social media as FB And Twitter, simply by asking them to integrate this new API in their current blog and or webpage.

So is google trying to make another FB? Well of course they wish, but I suspect that spreading information and asking Google to index it, is not nearly as clever as having it all at your fingertips at one site.

Normally I vote for Google, but not this time guys :-)

Social Media Get's Boost!

Wow, Google is about to give the social media a huge up swing in social interaction via our websites. Next best thing since sliced bread!

It's ok that Twitter followers don't affect page rank. Heck, they follow cause they want too :)

Awesome information, great article Chris!

Best Regards,
