Google has started to get into the "friends" scene with a new application.

You can sign up to the new Friend Connect for free at www.google.com/friendconnect/

Feel free to join and see how it works. I am just about to install it here on my own blog - in fact by the time you read this, it should be up and running! It will appear on the "Home Page" only.

It seems very common now for people to want to share with others when they find valuable resources - isn't that what social marketing is all about?

And when you add the brand "Google" to it, it will normally spread like wildfire. Plus people may use Friends Connect to invite their friends because they trust Google. Other "viral inviters" seem to be more intrusive.

Take a look, anyway -> and join me by clicking here . . . . .
