I've made several posts recently regarding social media so when I came across this news from Google I thought I should let you know. There is something new happening over at Google called Friend Connect. It's a program that connects social networks, blogs, websites, email and people together all in one place. Helping to make your site more interactive by adding interactive social featues to it and allowing you to increase traffic to your website or blog.
