Hi Joe,

I cannot say right now.

At this stage, Google Friend Connect and its Social Bar are not something of great value to any blog. The features they provide are basically nothing special.

But if we try to take a look in the future, probably we might see that Google is heading towards something with this Google Friend Connect stuff. And I’d like to be prepared and to have a large membership base in 12 months, just in case Google Friend Connect starts giving more value. So, yes, this is why I explore and test Social Bar today.

But if they do the same thing with GFC like they did with Lively or Orkut, I will reconsider my practice, too.

I am using it on my sites, pulled the side bar widgets altogether. Got a few tricks to make it better in my post today as well. Chris Lang's last blog post..Social Bar - Cures IE GFC Woes and Widget Envy
