Dans le communiqué de presse, paru hier, on peut lire :
“Websites that are not social networks may still want to be social — and now they can be, easily. With Google Friend Connect (see http://www.google.com/friendconnect following this evening’s Campfire One), any website owner can add a snippet of code to his or her site and get social features up and running immediately without programming — picking and choosing from built-in functionality like user registration, invitations, members gallery, message posting, and reviews, as well as third-party applications built by the OpenSocial developer community.”
Cette solution, présentée comme un moyen d’attirer et de fidéliser les visiteurs d’un site, est possible grâce aux standards connus tels que OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial, et les APIs proposées par Facebook, Google ou encore MySpace. Il sera désormais possible d’interconnecter les “fans” d’un site sur ce site. Il ne leur sera plus nécessaire d’aller sur un autre espace.
Un exemple concret de l’utilisation de Google Friend Connect est le site du musicien Ingrid Michaelson (je ne connais pas) : he “has added music features from iLike with Google Friend Connect and is now able to run the iLike OpenSocial application on her official website”.
