Social Networks Get More Open
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep up with updating profiles and statuses on all the social sites, then there’s good news. Hot on the heels of announcements from MySpace and Facebook about new openness in their formerly proprietary platforms, comes an announcement from Google.
Friends Connect, like the other services, will allow users to share data among different sites, and website owners will be able to put social features on their sites with a simple snippet of code. Don’t think that this openness is completely altruistic, though. Social networks give social profiles, which mean the chance to fine tune ad targeting. Can anyone say Adsense and Adwords?
