For once, Google looked to be a half-step (or more) behind. Yahoo’s testing a “social” new homepage, Microsoft’s rolling out a “social” Windows Live update, and from the search giant, nada on this front. Except, it seems, for Friend Connect, which just might launch soon.
Amit Agarwal writes, “Google earlier opened Friend Connect for a limited number of users . . . but I suspect that the public launch of Friend Connect may happen very soon. That’s because Google today released a new video that gives a short introduction to Friend Connect and unlike previous videos, this one is more inclined towards marketing the service to the non-developer crowd.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N94s7ix0JPoIndeed, the video speaks straight to site owners, emphasizes that no programming skills are needed, and with an easy-to-follow “here’s where they’ll click” walkthrough, shows how Friend Connect is supposed to appeal to users. Another interesting note: the video’s narrator, product marketing manager Mendel Chuang, uses the present tense, saying “users can” do things instead of “users will.”
