Google Friend Connect

Over in the sidebar, I added a new widget. Google’s Friend Connect. In theory, this will let folks who frequent my site explore the sites of other readers more easily. You can also, I think, share posts on Facebook and the like using this.

In practice? I don’t know. If it looks worthwhile, I might also add some of the other features. Or I might take it down completely. Would you mind giving it a try and telling me if it seems like it will be useful for you?

    Funny thing is every time I visit your site, a new friend gets added.

    I wonder if this is like MyBlogLog. MyBlogLog was fun for a little bit and then I didn’t find it so interesting anymore.

      it appears to be very similar, although with some slight differences:

      I don’t know. haven’t decided yet whether to install this on my blog yet or not.

      I do know some people got hit with porn sign-ups pretty quick, so it’ll be a good idea to implement whatever moderation powers they give you [generic you; blog owner].
