Blog Community Widgets Need to Work Together

Recently, we have seen the public release of Google FriendConnect and Facebook Connect. As a result of this, there is a massive land grab on all blogs. Which widget are you installing? Some people say you should install the Facebook widget because it basically opens things up to the whole social network. Others say that Google’s is easier to use and everyone uses at least one Google service.

  • Soon we will need something to manage all of the Friend Connect, FaceBook Connect, MySpace Connect, YouTube Connect, MyBlogLog and the zillion other services that allow us to collect friends, fans, subscribers. I, too, prefer MyBlogLog to Friend Connect - but it's early days yet.
  • I agree like Friendfeedfeed - Feeds feeding on feeds feeding feeds haha :)
  • Shame it's not easier to implement Facebook Connect as it looks like I will have to hold tight for someone to release a Blogger hack. I am impressed with both Connect services and feel that both Google and Facebook's services have a lot of potential!

    The above thought is smart and doesn’t require any further addition. It’s perfect thought from my side. It’s really appreciable and general.The initiative taken for the concern is very serious and need an attention of every one. This is the concern which exists in the society and needs to be eliminated from the society as soon as possible.
