Google’s new offering is designed to provide a ‘middleware’ services, sitting between the big social networks, and sundry web applications which might want to exploit the new openings in these services. It also utilises components which have been developed with the OpenSocial API. Friend Connect is, I think, a very significant development, because it shows how more distributed social networks might work. It is significant also in a particular detail - notice how Friend Connect can become a social network of sorts simply by integrating existing social networks. Suddenly, the huge headstart enjoyed by Facebook and MySpace doesn’t look so unassailable. This is, presumably, the real reason why Facebook have taken steps to block Friend Connect.

At no point did it seem that suddenly all your Facebook friends would be joined to this site. Only friends that you specifically recommend would be invited. Some here say Facebook has a point. But simply going by what the Friend Connect product does at this point, Facebook has no justification for claiming to be protecting user data. They are playing a defensive business move.
