Friend Connect Directory

Social networking truly has revolutionized the way people interact. Now, Google Friend Connect is on the precipice of improving - if not revolutionizing - the way social networking is conducted. Through the simple installation of a widget code, Google Friend Connect can be added to any online platform able to accept the code. That means Google Friend Connect can be added to any website. Blog, or social networking profile on the internet. This is an amazing function because it literally converts any online platform into a forum for expanded social networking. This is not minor benefit as social networking is more than an idle pursuit. Entire businesses have been built on the ability to effectively navigate social networking platforms. That is why social networking continues to expand in members and popularity and will continue to do so. Thanks to Google Friend Connect, this process is becoming even easier and more expansive.

Social networking is clearly expanding in ways that were probably not initially conceived of. Of course, this is a good thing as the perpetual expansion of social networking into other facets and spheres will allow for increased communications in a multitude of ways. This is no minor benefit. All professional and personal pursuits require relationships with others. Going it alone possesses significant limitations. This should not come as a surprise. People are more willing to work with or associate with people they know or trust than they would be with complete strangers. As such, the development of social networking sites is quite valuable in terms of promulgating interaction between people and organizations. While this process was never cumbersome, Google Friend Connect has made it even easier.

There are a number of ways you can improve and expand your social networking skills with Google Friend Connect. Some of these methods include:

You can encourage visitors to your site to look at the profiles of the other members of your network. You can also suggest that they add these profiles to their own networks. This will allow the size and scope of your social network to expand dramatically in a short period of time.

Actually, you can also suggest anyone that joins your network to tell their friends within their own individual networks to examine your site. Hopefully, these individuals will join your network as well. This is a near logarithmic approach to growing a social network. It could yield untold scores of members in a very short period of time.

Since the visitors to your site all share a common interest, it would be helpful to encourage them to spend time networking with each other. Those with similar interests usually make the best members of a social networking community. As such, encouraging as much networking as possible will yield further interest (and expansion) of your own network.

Tell the world about Google Friend Connect whenever possible. Even something as minor as mentioning your site and its affiliation with Google Friend Connect in blog comments or even signatures to message board posts. Over time, these simple methods could prove quite helpful in improving your social network.

Interact with the members of your network on a personal level. Far too often, individuals will amass huge social networks and never really "network" with their friends. Sending out bulk bulletins is preferable to not sending anything at all, but it would be best to try and individually contact as many members of the network as possible. Since Google Friend Connect is such a user friendly system it makes such communications as easy a possible. Also, staying in touch with the members will make them more likely to contribute to your social network and expand it.

Let all the members of your AIM and Yahoo instant messenger list know about Google Friend Connect. Since they can sign in with their messenger account, there will be no cumbersome steps they will need to take in order to join.

Of course, you can also recommend that all your casual visitors sign up with Google Friend Connect as well. Provide a spot on your website that tells them about the benefits of Google Friend Connect, how it has greatly expanded your social network, and, most importantly, tell them how easy it is to sign up. By promoting the services of Google Friend Connect to others, you will reap the rewards of the expanded social network created as a result.
