Google Friend Connect – adding social features to your site

December 3, 2008 by Paul Spoerry 3 Comments

Google Friend Connect means more people engaging more deeply with your website — and with each other. It’s features:

  • Enrich your site: Choose engaging social features from a catalog of gadgets by Google and the OpenSocial developer community.
  • Attract more visitors: Your users can easily invite friends from social networks and contact lists to visit and join your site.
  • No programming whatsoever: Just copy and paste a few snippets of code into your site, and Friend Connect does the rest.

With Google Friend Connect, visitors to your site or blog can:

  • Sign in with their Google, Yahoo, AIM or OpenID account.
  • Interact with other visitors by making friends, sharing media, posting comments, playing games, and more.
  • Invite friends from other social networks and contact lists to join your site or blog.

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
