You can see the faceroll widget on the left siedbar just a little bit below the fold.</p> <p>Today, Google has announced a service called <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/annc/20080512_friend_connect.html">Friend Connect</a>. I spent a bit of time looking at Friend Connect this morning and this screen shot was the one I found most interesting.</p> <p><a href="http://avc.blogs.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/12/friend_connect_example.jpg"><img width="500" height="366" border="0" src="http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/images/2008/05/12/friend_connect_example.jpg" title="Friend_connect_example" alt="Friend_connect_example" /></a></p> <p>I'll have to play around with Friend Connect and understand how it fits between mybloglog and ning and other things that it reminds me of. At first blush, I am not entirely sure what I'd use it for. Suggestions? </p> <p><img usemap="#google_ad_map_4mZDuqhKBtROj96m6x1KD72z-Hs_" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-1976969113493846&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=4mZDuqhKBtROj96m6x1KD72z-Hs_&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Favc.blogs.com%2Fa_vc%2F2008%2F05%2Fis-friend-conne.html" /></p> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?a=JBZ7oq"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?i=JBZ7oq" border="0"></img></a></p> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?a=ruP6hh"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?i=ruP6hh" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?a=WgRZ7H"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?i=WgRZ7H" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?a=5q3XiH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?i=5q3XiH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?a=E3VTPh"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?i=E3VTPh" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?a=gzyaNH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?i=gzyaNH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?a=ZUzUwH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology?i=ZUzUwH" border="0"></img></a><br /> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AVcVentureCapitalAndTechnology/~4/288772592" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://www.thestandard.com/news/2008/05/12/friend-connect-googles-answer-mybloglog#comments Venture Capital and Technology Breaking News Mon, 12 May 2008 08:53:14 -0700 Fred Wilson 106322 at http://www.thestandard.com
