That is why we have decided to create a free directory called gfcdirectory[dot]com for google friend connect enabled websites. We encourage all friend connect enabled sites to register your site for free in this directory. We have enabled some of the gadgets on the site, so you can also see at first hand what they look like. The site is new, but we plan to add more and more features as we all learn more about what gadgets will be available in the future.

Much rather use my twitter than any other profile. Especially now that twitter seems to have recovered from a rather shaky period earlier in the year. It's growing strong. Testing out the twitter functionality with FriendConnect on our website right now and it works like a charm. LOVE being able to join a site with twitter account.

For me (i.e. my site, kidsmakestuff.com) this makes a big difference. I already have a user community, with my own authentication method. I could add facebook connect as a authentication method, no problem. But friend connect doesn't work as it won't let me "mix" the friend connect users with my existing users. I would end up having 2 distinct user groups who cannot interact properly with each other. I could implement OpenID, but I don't get the social features then.

Any kind of signal would be fine but none has been made available by Google. The point is, through some kind of script, one should be able to recognize that the one who is browsing your site has succesfully logged into friend connect.

If you want to emulate the functionality of a site like say, Ning, then Google Friend Connect is what you want. If you're looking to leverage the Facebook platform and have a unified sign in, then check out Facebook Connect. Openid is a great idea, but due to the low adoption rate and the fact it isn't back-ended by a large social network like Facebook, just isn't appealing enough to use singularly. Exactly.
