Google Friend Connect (FEATURE REQUEST)

Mohamed.Ghuloom

I just got whitelisted to use Google Friend Connect service and I really liked it. As a part of the setup they asked me to upload two files to the server of my smugmug, which I think is not possible.
I searched the forum and I got these two posts of members asking for the same feature.

It would be great if Smugmug integrated Google's Friend Connect:

I second the Google Friend Connect idea...

I realize it may be more of an API/Hacks/Tricks matter in the end since it's based off of the Open Social stuff will be more of a development platform than a true feature... but having Friend Connect capabilities to deeply integrate with SmugMug would be incredible.

I think smugmug having the ability to integrate GFC would be reasonably the next big step. What you guys think? :ivar

Looking into it...
Hey Mohamed, I just emailed google to get some more information on how best to implement it. Once I hear back from them and get the details I will look into integrating it into smugmug. I'll let you know when I get some more concrete information...
Thanks,
Scott.

It's really cool to have a new section in my website called Fans or something.. Google is doing really good things, starting from reader, gmail, analytics, webmasters, to adsense, blogger, notebooks and docs..


Let us know in this thread as soon as the integration becomes available.. I WANT TO BE THE FIRST ONE INTEGRATING IT INTO MY SMUGMUG

I don't know if you're interested, but I noticed that you have a blog at blogger using one of the standard blogger templates. I posted a thread a while back titled HOW TO match your blog to your smug site (blogger-specific).

You can take a look at my site and blog (linked below) to see the end results.

Google Friend Connect
The posts on Friend Connect are a bit old. I tried to add the code (to the custom footer) and it did not work. Is it possible to add this tool? And if so, where should it go?

Thanks!
