    I wonder if Yahoo has approached Google to run MyBlogLog and integrate it with Friend Connect, in addition to outsourcing their search? Heck, maybe they could outsource the entire company's operations to Google!

    OK, getting a bit off-topic here...

    It won't be long before data portability projects start converging. The main winners ought to be the users. The losers will be the platforms with limited added value beyond a list of friends/connections (read LinkedIn). See http://traackr.com/blog/?p=31 for more.

    We also wrote about the issue of the control of the data a couple of weeks ago, the issue is more relevant now than ever: http://traackr.com/blog/?p=25

    This is very exciting. As CEO of a UK-business focused social network, it will make it much easier for users of our service to share the benefits with friends they already have on other social networks (Facebook has 8.5 million British users).

    The Universal Login is definitely key to the continued growth of social networking. It'll also commoditize social networking features so that we'll probably never see Myspace, Bebo, and Facebook valuations again. But then again, never say never.

    love the idea to add social capability to any site, as anything that enables social enablement growth is a good thing, not just for Google that for sure will probably bring in additional revenue through some marketing stream, but I think that every website who uses these gadgets can get a lift through viral communications which should drive additional traffic.

    And a cool new Google friend connect directory has been started at gfcdirectory.com. If you have a Google friend connect enabled website then you can submit your site for free.
