Google Launching Friend Connect API
By Chris Crum
This and More From Matt Cutts at PubCon...
At PubCon Matt Cutts just announced the launch of the Google Friend Connect API. It let's you copy javascript and make your blog more social.
The key point to acknowledge here is that Google is encouraging people to create more plug-ins for it, and it will be available through WordPress, Drupal, and phpbb plugins making it accessible to a whole lot of the web.
Google Friend Connect will be easily usable with not only blogs, but forums and content management systems. It's completely open and built on open social.
Out of this, publishers can get:
- more user participation
- More comments and higher -quality comments, less spam
- More interactions: questions, answers, votes
- flexibility - widgets, etc.
This is an important step for data portability. We have not seen Google Friend Connect truly take off yet like it could, and this might get it pushed in that direction.
