Have you noticed Google buying up a bunch of Web 2.0 companies over the last several months? Well, they have. Apparently, they had an idea. Take a look at this video: Once “Google Friend Connect” is released, ANY website can easily become a fully interactive social network. It’s pretty incredible and the implications are … well … also pretty incredible. With just a couple of clicks, you can add social networking elements from a catalog of different social gadgets that will give your blog a totally new dimension … or two or three. Social networking is the essence of the internet, and this will be a big step to help people go much farther in that direction. And that has a huge implication for your blog, too. Readers can quickly and easily become “fans” of your blog and upload a photo to your “fan” wall. It’ll be easier for you to encourage a sense of community amongst your readers. You will be able to get more interaction amongst them, making your blog a more valuable part of their lives. Plus, those who get more involved will be more likely to recommend your blog to their other like-minded contacts, giving you more of a viral element. You’ll be able to better focus your community on rating posts and giving feedback, key elements in the vitality of any blog. We all know how highly Google values relevant, unique information. If you’re using Google Friend Connect on your site, and Google has instant access to your readers’ blog comments and reviews, how long do you think it will be until those comments work their way into the Google SE ranking algorithm, to move your page higher in the rankings? Every year for the past several years, the internet has moved more in the social networking and social marketing direction, away from the straight sales direction. Google Friend Connect will continue and accelerate that trend. Saturday, May 24th, 2008 at 10:00 am and is filed under Writing Your Blog .
