The other day I started to get emails from friends all over the web that they wanted me to join them on Google Friend Connect so being the geek I am how could I resist. I started going to sites and adding myself as friends and connecting with the various blogs that are setup with the widgets and such.
Now also being a geek and always having to be playing with the latest and greatest I of course added GFC to my blog as well. If you check out the site you will see on the far right hand side I have added the followers/friends widget as well as the comments widget so feel free to one join the (jeff)isageek network and leave a little comment or something as well.
Now what will Google Friend Connect do for me or is it going to be a success??? Not sure..I am sure I will get some more traffic to my site and maybe I will meet some new kool people but I think it is still in the early stages and we will just have to see how this takes off.
Do you have Google Friend Connect on your blog or site? If so leave me a comment and I can join your network and or become your friend. Below I threw some information from google on the service for you to digest.
