Google Friend Connect lets you grow traffic by easily adding social features to your website.

Hmm.. you think this goin' to work?

I filled up the preview form.. In my opinion, it would not be of much use as such.. the task that defines a social networking website remains tall infront of google's interface which might allow people to migrate or connect through one website to another website or its users..

Deleting the lines between social networking websites and general websites would'nt be a great idea..Just because intead of +ves there would be more of negatives.. it would require conflict management, information will be skewed, Promotions and virals will rise up.. resulting in yet another short term promotion channel.. I cant project anything more than that..but its one thing that has more flaws then merits..this might go down the drain for me..

But, on a positive note, It should work nicely with blogs for which its real purpose is..

I think that it is a good idea to allow webmasters to make their sites more social
