actually, children don’t usually understand sarcasm…that part of their little brains hasn’t developed quite yet. So, I don’t know if you were being facetious or mildly sarcastic, but it’s actually not childish, its a ‘grown up’s affair.

my god man.. you’re running the risk of becoming a joke. i know the point you’re trying to make. google isn’t giving you ur use is easy access to being listed on their open social app/widget/etc… or maybe i don’t know your point!!!

however, my point is that you don’t know the gpl licensing issue. the gpl states that you can take/use something that’s gpl’d… you can then do whatever the hell you want to do with it internally. you never need to give anything back to the community if your use is internal….

but, if you make what you changed, or the derivative works available to the public, then you must also offer the source to the derivative works.

someone else can chime in if i’ve left something out.. it’s been awhile since i’ve gotten into the gritty details of the gpl license…

peace.

I think Friend Connect really has the potential to change some of our online habits.
The option for any website owner to have an instant social layer seems promising, not everyone has the time or skills to build a dedicated Ning, or a slow growing user based community.

The oldest attempt at this direction that i can recall was back in 1999, client based “Gooey”

Well, Google is now big enough to offer a wide standard of social layers, and i really hope it works!

“I’m having trouble deciding whether this list of friends should go with you everywhere or not.”
It should be an option, still i’d like to be able to relate specific friends to different sites according to their context.

Cheers!

Google’s Friend Connect, connects you through your favorite social networks, and not only you can see and be seen by friends who’ve joined your blog/site, and invite more friends to read and share, you can also publish your activities to your social news feeds.
But there’s more to it than just that. You can read about the concept in my previous post here:

In my opinion, Google takes a step forward by providing a core set of social gadgets. Once you have added Friend Connect to your site, you can offer many of other applications built by others, and powered by OpenSocial to your users, simply by pasting the relevant snippet into your site.

Please bare in mind that this is still in beta testing, and even if the execution is not so great at the moment, it could become a huge deal when it will be.

I’d say, get ready to be social, because if your site is not so social right now, Friend Connect will make a difference.

One last thing (a tip):
When you signing up to this gadget (from any blog), please write something about yourself (screenshot attached), because right now this is the fastest way to get more info than just your name & picture.
