Google Launches MyBlogLog Competitor

[trigatch4]

Apparently Google has announced FriendConnect - which will be a more kickass version of MyBlogLog - in their quest to take over the universe.

The site isn't live yet, but once it is, they will be accepting limited applications to the beta service at: Google Friend Connect

I'm going to try and snatch up an "invite" early in case they really are limited and I'll report back when I learn. This looks pretty cool in the grand scheme of things.

Son of a bitch, it looks like it will be longer than I thought:

Without providing specifics, MySpace and Facebook have said it will be several more weeks before their users can transplant their personal information to other Web sites.

I think this may be the most anyone has replied to their own thread before receiving a legitimate reply. ME FTW.

Looks cool. I signed up too. Maybe we can be Friendconnect friend!

YOU BASTARD! I announced it and you beat me to signing up. I JUST signed up. It was "offline" until about 5 minutes ago.

Thanks for the info, Google is really aggressive in to everything they do.

I'm quick like The Flash! And also, I doubt I'll get it, the blog I pointed to pretty much sucks. But, getting in and having a leg up on folks would be pretty cool.

Looks good. I tried signing up, hopefully I get approved.

I just tried signing up and I get this:

Something bad happened. Don't worry, though. The Spreadsheets Team has been notified and we'll get right on it.

DAMN!!!!!!

 

[bam bam]

Yeah i get that as well.

 

[OldCarParts]

I signed up and got a message saying thank you and that they will notify me when the service is in use. We'll see.

I agree, Google is really aggressive in everything they do. Not sure if I'll be able to incorporate this into some of my current sites but it'll be interesting to see how people incorporate this into their pages.

From what I've seen G tests everything, and I imagine that this signup is another test. So if you want to see an alternative to MyBlogLog (as I do), go sign up , tell others to do so, and it will happen.

Way to bump a month old thread with such a quality response.

Way to give me your AIM and never sign online

good news

This is actually going to be good news in the grand scheme of things. A credible competitor like google will add innovation to this space. Would be nice to see another decent size player here...

At least this resurrection bump is better than "Looks really cool.."...
