Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
"Google Friend Connect is about helping the 'long tail'
of sites become more social," said David Glazer, a director of
engineering at Google. "Many sites aren't explicitly social and don't
necessarily want to be social networks, but they still benefit from
letting their visitors interact with each other. That used to be hard.
Fortunately, there's an emerging wave of social standards -- OpenID,
OAuth, OpenSocial, and the data access APIs published by Facebook,
Google, MySpace, and others. Google Friend Connect builds on these
standards to let people easily connect with their friends, wherever
they are on the web, making 'any app, any site, any friends' a reality."
Google Friend Connect is in a preview release and
is currently available on a handful of whitelisted websites. All site
owners interested in learning more about Google Friend Connect and
signing up for the wait list can now visit
http://www.google.com/friendconnect/. Google says that in the weeks
ahead it will be turning on more sites, adding more social
applications, and integrating feedback from site owners and developers.
