Google launched Friend Connect platform

As expected, Google launched Friends Connect , which supports three major social standards - OpenID, oAuth, and OpenSocial. Initially, the main members of the OpenSocial Alliance (Facebook, Google Talk, Hi5, Orkut and Plaxo) will be able to provide data to their users for third-party sites.

No programming knowledge is required to work with Friend Connect. Simply fill in the required information, select the necessary social applications, copy the code, paste and save. There are also features such as user registration, sending out invitations, posting messages and reviews.

As for the almost simultaneous release of Friend Connect with similar Facebook and MySpace products, David Glazer, Google’s chief engineer, said:
“People will speculate a lot on this topic, but We did not create this code in the three days since MySpace and Facebook made announcements about the release of their products.”

Currently, only a few projects are available for end users, one of them is Guacamole, which was created by Google programmers to demonstrate Friend Connect capabilities, as well as for feedback from site owners.

Therefore, it is difficult to compare and talk about the pros and cons of each of the three players, Google Friend Connect, Facebook Connect and MySpace Data Availability . Time will tell, but in any case, Google is even closer to its cherished goal - to make a Google account center move on the Social Web.
