Folks, lookie here Google Friend Connect has just launched free, simple install Social widgets for Member Management, Message Board, Reviews, and Picture Sharing. These widgets are easily added to any website, any code.

This almost completely removes the cost associated with becoming more involved with social media. Many companies can take advantage of this stuff. It’s not for everyone, but most.

This software is the next generation of best practice web development. (if you don’t mind Google’s eye over your shoulder and their ads in your audiences face.)
