The Long Tail of Social Networking - Google Friend Connect
Google is now running their new program "Google Friend Connect" in a beta (surprise!). Basically the idea is to build the long tail of social networking sites by offering an easy add-on (widget) that can be embedded on your blog, website or whatever you like to publish on the Internet. The widget makes your website a social site where people can join the sites and become members of your own little micro community. In other words - you have become your own micro Zuckerberg :-D
Of course this is too tempting to be ignored, so I have immediately installed the app on this blog (as you can see on the right hand side of my front page of www.petersvarre.dk.
So check it out - join the "Peter Svarre's Blog" community and start the micro social networking revolution right now!!!

Hi Peter
It's also possible to add a Google Friend Connect wall beneath each of your posts and lift the comments out of the blog and onto Google Friend Connect.
No doubt that the Google Friend Connect comment feature is still to immature to replace the current one (both on WordPress and Blogger) but it could become a very cool feature, if Google keeps developing on it.
I've also implemented Google Friend Connect on my blog.
Note that if you use the Google Friend Connect wall it's a good idea to include the sign in widget nearby, since the wall doesn't have any sign on functionality yet.
