Wow. So let me get this straight… or skraight as they apparently say in ghetto-fabulous Orlando.

All I need is C-Panel with fantastico, a working knowledge of something like Joomla, and a Google account and I can be the next Myspace?

Holy e-book!

well considering what happened when google tried to launch its own video service and was crushed mercilessly by youtube, so they had to shell a few hundred million to buy that.
not to mention that as much as myspace is dull it is owned by rupert murdoch. so it does have the dark prince of media backing it. they aren’t go anywhere soon.

This will completely and utterly crush every white label social networking platform sold to larger brand, not to mention preclude those brands from tapping into the Web 2.0 experience and controlling how people engage with that brand.

Nevertheless, I think this has the potential to really empower webmasters who are seriously passionate about growing the communities that surround their portals — just not with any direct way of monetizing that community. Basically, they’ll be able to attract and retain more visits, but they’ll have to rely on more conventional affiliate marketing formats to convert those numbers into dollars.

I’m sure, however, that Adwords will be tailored to show much, much more relevant ads to users using Friend Connect, so Google won’t only gain a huge chunk of Web 2.0 enthusiasts, but also the affiliate marketers that chase after them.

Looks very interesting indeed. I can see a lot of value in a single web wide connecting system and would appeal to myself both as a site owner and a user. Being a google product it is sure to get enough momentum behind it quickly to become effective.

Ive always found the problem with social networking sites is the reluctance of all my contacts to join the same scheme.

I’ll be watching that link closely!
