Google Friend Connect Is More User Friendly
Google Friend Connect, the Google service which allows webmasters to enhance their websites with social networking features without coding, has just been updated. It has a new set of features intended to permit users to get to know each other better and in the same time, webmasters can customize the website experience and content.
From now on, the visitors of a website running Google Friend Connect will be able to share details about themselves and instantly chat with other members of the website community.
Mussie Shore, Product Manager of Google Friend Connect explains how your website visitors can enjoy a better social networking experience, by learning more about the community members:
“As a site owner, you can help them do this by visiting the new “Interests” section of your Friend Connect account, where you can add site-relevant questions that people can answer when joining your website or via the poll gadget. For instance, if you have a music website, you might ask people to share their favorite bands, the last concert they attended, or where they discover new music. This way, your visitors can learn more about each other in the context of the interests that bring them to your website.”
Google Friend Connect also has new management tools that allows you to personalize your website experience through the personalized content gadget and Google ads. On the other hand, now you can send custom newsletters from within the new “Newsletter” section.
Google Friend Connect service is available for free from Google. In order to add it to your website, you will need to have administrative rights on your web server.
