Google Friends etc….

With Google Friends, you “add social features to your site”. Whatever that means!

GF is an application based on Opensocial . Opensocial is a standard for having the same application working on different social network sites. The simplest feature, for instance, is that you can log in with your Yahoo/Google/MySpace/LinkedIn (and others) account. You could build a stupid application showing all your friends. If you put this application on MySpace or visualab.org, well, it will work the same!

If you “join” visualab.org (the button on the right) (yes, just underneath “Google Friends”), you won’t get anything because I have no time to set up a social network website, but well, that could be a terrific investment. It is like if you bought one IBM share in the 1960s… for free.

And I’m not going to ask Bill Gates to write an operating system!
