Twitter Joins The Google Friend Connect Party
- axod 18y agoSorry, but I still don't get what it means. Does this mean they've found a business model? Or a potential one? Why is this important?
- gasull 18y agoDo you know what's Google Connect? http://www.google.com/friendconnect/admin/ http://www.google.com/friendconnect/admin/ It's news because it means Twitter is adhering to a Google-promoted standard, and because this standard is competition of Facebook Connect. http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&story=108 http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&story=108 Google vs Facebook is the new battle.
- axod 18y agoI don't buy that. How is this going to increase googles revenue? How is it going to make facebook money? Sounds like a lot of politics to me.

- AndrewWarner 18y agoIt's important because, as a user, I want some of the sites I use to be aware of each other and work together.
- azharcs 18y agoHere is Evan Williams denying that they have joined the Google Friend Connect Party and competing against Facebook. It seems they are working closely with both. http://twitter.com/ev/status/1059144975 http://twitter.com/ev/status/1059144975
