Google approach seems quite good to help small and medium websites.
For the user it is also good because you would not need to register to each of the forums, websites or blogs you visit. This is the closest we can get to a “single sing-on” for web applications.

While MySpace and Facebook provide APIs aiming at enriching their existing profiles, Google is providing easy tools for small and medium websites to benefit from Social Networks and drive more traffic to them. Many small & medium websites use Google AdSense to manage their advertisement. Therefore the more traffic these tools drive, the more ads that Google will place in these sites. It is a win-win. Google wins, the small website win too, and the user hopefully wins too by dealing with less userIds and passwords.

Really not that impressed. “Web masters” still have to place the code and setup the site. I think people underestimate the level of intelligence of the public. Yes, a very simple todo, but you would be surprised with the amount of people who want a website who could never even ftp a file. It was stated, “not simple enough”, which I agree with. I’m going to try with a few of my sites, but in general, I’m not blown away. I don’t think its a Ning killer or a Yelp killer. Yelp? Who are they?

Well I was trying to signup for LimeAll and I got this error:

Lately I see Google doing things in haste and not in the right way…

Something bad happened. Don’t worry, though. The Spreadsheets Team has been notified and we’ll get right on it.

Am I the only one who is aware of what Google is trying to do here? This is an obvious attempt by Google to collect everybody’s social network data, preferences, etc, and use it for it’s ad serving via Doubleclick, Google Adsense, Google Search, their YouTube, etc. When they have user preference data, data from Google Analytics, and can then serve the ads based on that across the Web, why would any advertiser buy ads from someone else?

I’ve changed my mind. At first it was great but now I think that this is just a little bit more advanced than the MYBLOGLOG website. Think about it, there you can add people, you can invite, you can add your visitors to your web site, you can customize the design and so on.

Hopefully Facebook and MySpace will bring something new to this area.

@30 –

My video didn’t run short and I had a better position on the lawn. I guess TechCrunch doesn’t let you post things with URLs in them. Click my name instead for the full video.

Looks very cool. I just signed up. I know this sounds really stupid but I like the fact that there signup form is a Google Spreadsheet Form!

Love the idea of having my friends and community on my site rather then having them on Nings server!

Looking forward to hearing Steve Gillmor, Chris Sadd and the Gangs thoughts on it when they do the next gang!
