The setup for Google Friend Connect was amazingly easy and graceful, so easy in fact, my blog could almost do it on it’s own. It took me less than 10 minutes to add full community capability onto my Technology Goddess blog, and I recorded two videos of the setup process.

That’s my overview on setting up Google Friend connect on your blog or website. It took me only a few minutes to have a community flourishing on my blog. Very Cool.
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.
I am super-excited to announced that next Tuesday morning I will be posting a podcast interview with a Google OpenSocial and Friend Connect Developer. I know that many of you are anticipating the launch of Google’s Friend Connect and have a lot of questions about some of the other great OpenSocial projects Google has going like Social Graph API, and I’ll try to pose as many questions as we have time for in the interview. Here is my Video announcement and I hope to see all of you here on Tuesday!
The Technology Goddess Blog was so honored to be a Google Friend Connect Beta tester. Please join the conversation with me!
