Interview With Google Developer Kevin Marks

Erika of Technology Goddess here, sharing with you my recent interview with Kevin Marks, a Google OpenSocial Developer Advocate. It is one of the richest and most informative interviews I have heard with a Google Developer online. Kevin is author of the weblog Epeus Epigone and became principal engineer for Technorati after doing work for both Apple and the BBC. He is one of the founders of Microformats and CNet credits Kevin as one of the primary contributors to the genesis of podcasting technology as we know it today.

Kevin shares insights with me into Google’s OpenSocial  philosophy and future as well as FOAF, the Google Social Graph API, how the Googlebot follows FOAF and XFN markup links and publicly declared connections, what Google Developers are currently focused on in the lab and the future of Google Friend Connect.

I so enjoyed talking with such an innovative and brilliant mind on the forefront of internet social development. Go grab a latte and sit down for this full interview, because you will not want to miss a word of Kevin’s in-depth peek inside Google’s Development environment.
