Google Friend Connect is Google’s attempt to join the social media landscape. With millions of websites now using the widget, it looks like they may have succeeded. Google Friend Connect allows your website to function as a social network. People can join, leave comments or start a dialogue. As a result, visitor interaction is encouraged by the widget, which is great for both the visitor and the owner of the site. Watch this video to get more detail on Google Friend Connect.
Now that you have watched the video: if you would like to try out what it is like to join a community through Google Friend Connect, I encourage you to join our community. Go to the bottom left corner of the screen and you will see the Google Friend Connect toolbar. Simply sign in (using your Google account username and password) or join by creating a new account. It is that easy! Once you are in, feel free to ask any questions you want. DeeJay, David, Joao, Jeff and I (Karin) are all here to help you get the most out of social media.
