googleSocial connection through online world is becoming more and more relevant these days. Even Google isn’t ignoring it. While Google’s Friend Connect was a success of some kind, it was still suffering from seamless integration with major CMS sources. But not anymore. Finally Google has come out with three Friend Connect plugins for Wordpress, Drupal and phpBB. webhole.net observes that anyone who is interested in your forum and blog will not need to make two accounts for your blog (wordpress) and forum (PhpBB) to participate. This will let less problems to occur when you switch between the two using the same account. Again you will not have to re-log each time you interchange and the annoying cookie management process will be out of the window.

As Google is found quoting,

The Google Friend Connect plugins are proof-of-concept code to integrate users with external accounts into your site. A user can visit your site and leave a comment with a Google Account, Yahoo Account, any OpenID, or in future other sites

Once again I find myself spending way to much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!

Nobody right here on Yahoo Answers can do it either or else they would take Randi’s $1 Million dollar challenge. It could be quite easy to prove.

I have been doing a lot of reading up on sitemaps and whether or not it is a good thing to implement on a site that is doing fairly well without sitemaps installed. It seems the ratio is about 50/50.

I have many sites and have never installed sitemaps on any of them due to the scary factor of having the site possibilty de-indexed.

Your thoughts on this would be appreciated. Unless you can point me to your prior comments on this.

Just saying hello to you all ..
Still a bit confused about the goings on here, but I guess I’ll keep poking around.
