You’ve heard of Facebook. You’ve heard of Twitter.
Have you heard of the Google Social Network? Rather than being a single ‘site’, like Facebook, the Google Social Network is distributed all over the net – meaning you’re not constrained to a single website to connect with other people.
How does it work?
You’ve heard of Gmail. You’ve heard of YouTube. You’ve probably heard of Google Wave. And you should have heard of Google Reader.
Each of these are accessed using the same Google login – and you can share stuff from across all these sites with your friends and contacts. And the cool thing that helps tie this all together is Google Friend Connect – a cool application that let’s you literally ‘join’ someones website. You can just be a member, or you can become a ‘friend’ of the website owner or of other members of the site.
As a friend you can see your friends wherever they are all over the web. It makes it quick and easy to share stuff with your network and get your message out there.
So, join me on the Google Social Network.
All you have to do is join the site using the Gadget above and then send me a friend request. Easy.
