Google Friend Connect : rendez votre site “social” 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.
Google dévoile une preview de Google Friend Connect, un service destiné aux webmasters désirant doter leur site de fonctionnalités sociales sans pour autant nécessiter de développer le moindre code. Concrètement, [.
Selon Facebook, le système friend connect viole ses règles concernant la protection de la vie privée de ses membres. En effet, le site communautaire estime que Google redistribue les données des utilisateurs de Facebook à d'autres développeurs sans qu'ils le sachent. Cela contrevient aux standards de protection de la vie privée que nous avons fixés et est contraire à nos conditions d'utilisation.
By offering a suite of tools for websites to add a social network layer, Google isn't challenging established players like Facebook and MySpace, but instead sites offering customizable, turnkey social networks. In other words, look out, Marc Andreessen: Larry and Sergey just declared themselves the Microsoft to Ning's Netscape.
I was just reading feeds and it is 4 a. m. in the morning, so maybe I missed something here. But Marc Andreessen just spent quite a few words trying to convince me that Google’s Friend Connect doesn’t compete with Ning, the service he runs that helps companies build their own social network.
Google a annoncé, lors du Campfire qui se déroulait au Googleplex, le lancement de son nouveau service : Friend Connect. Friend Connect est le nouveau service proposé par Google pour rendre facilement un site web plus social via un widget.
Let’s see. I’m on Twitter, Facebook, Wordpress, Upcoming, Pownce, Plaxo, Yelp, MySpace, Flickr, Dopplr, and a few others. The problem? They don’t know about each other. Google, today, with its new Social Graph API, is trying to hook all of those together. Another problem?
Présentation de Google Friend Connect Annoncé au cours du Campfire qui se déroulait au Googleplex (voir ici des photos de la fiesta), Google Friend Connect est un nouveau pas de Google dans le domaine des réseaux sociaux. Il s'agit d'un outil proposé aux webmasters qui leur permet en quelques clics d'établir une relation entre leur site et certains réseaux sociaux.
Facebook has shut off access to Google's new Friend Connect, citing privacy issues, saying that the service "redistributes data" in ways that users don't "expect or understand," according to a blog post by Facebook developer Charlie Cheever. Google Friend Connect collected and displayed information available through Facebook's tools for third-party web developers to use on their own sites.
The soon-to-be-shuttered Yahoo Mash is not Yahoo's first failed social network. It's also not its second, third, or fourth. It took one whole hand for us to count Big Purple's failed attempts to get social, either through mergers or in-house development, below. Born on March 16, 2005 as "an innovative and engaging way for people to share their lives, leverage their community and get the most out of their online experience," according to Yahoo's then-COO Dan Rosensweig, Yahoo 360 isn't technically dead yet.
Google Chrome has the potential to replace the Windows desktop — and kill Adobe's Flash for extra points. So said Marc Andreessen, one of the programmers behind the world-changing Mosaic browser. He'd long ago envisioned a future where instead of running applications from a desktop operating system, computer users would get everything from servers on a network.
Côté réseaux sociaux, Google n'est désormais plus en reste avec le lancement de sa plate-forme Friend Connect.
Vous n'êtes pas un as de la programmation web et vous souhaitez exploiter le potentiel des réseaux sociaux pour enrichir votre site? Google pense avoir trouvé la solution! Google Friend Connect permet en effet d'interconnecter n'importe quel site web avec des réseaux sociaux comme Facebook, Google Talk, Hi5, Linkedin, Plaxo, Orkut.
Google Friend Connect porte atteinte à la vie privée ?
Ning, the social-network software maker cofounded by Marc Andreessen, appears to get substantial traffic from adult-oriented websites it hosts. CPM Advisors notes that some of Ning's top networks. This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more!
Social Networks are widely accepted to be the latest evolution of online communications, tracing a line back through instant messaging, webmail, chat rooms and bulletin boards. Now that we’ve had a little more time and perspective on how they are used, we’re starting to see a few differences between how social networks are used for online communication and previous forms of online communication.
Here's what you really need to know about Ning, according to Fast Company writer Adam Penenberg. Its chairman, Netscape cofounder Marc Andreessen, has an egg-shaped head. Its CEO, Gina Bianchini, who posed for Fast Company's cover in a tank top, is a "hottie. And Ning, a provider of websites for niche social networks, is poised to hit "critical mass" and "no one can stop it.
Participation in social networks continues to grow seemingly without bounds as more people seek to connect, share and collaborate with likeminded individuals online. Today, hundreds of millions of online users have already signed up, with an increasing number belonging to more than one network.
Netscape cofounder Marc Andreessen, who now runs social networks for porn sites, doesn't think that the Microsoft-Yahoo deal bodes ill for startups. True, there will be one less buyer out there if. This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more!
I see that Yahoo has joined up with Google’s Open Social.
