Twitter is a sexy girl that every big boys crave!

Google Friend Connect launched with Twitter today. It’s really a hot news for Google fanboys (me? I am a Google fanboy, but not a crazy one) that Google with Twitter as an ally is winning in the war with Facebook. But definitely it’s not something like Facebook vs Twitter + Google as Anh Hung said in his article. Actually Twitter didn’t choose Google, Google just picked up Twitter API, implemented and wrote an article about it. Yeah, and Twitter quickly responded about this that they’re working on Facebook Connect as well as MySpace Data Availability that will require more development effort on their part.

So what does these whole things mean?

  • For Google, this’s a big improvement. Most of people use Gmail IDs to sign-in and join sites integrated Google Friend Connect and that only makes a members list for the sites, no more. For me, it’s so classical. Members list, shoutbox widget,… just like 10 years ago when people were excited with Dynamic Web. With Twitter integration, Google Friend Connect is more social a bit. The friends in the list are your actual friends – or, at least people you’ve got an online relationship with.
  • For users, it just means now you can use your Twitter account to sign-in and join sites integrated Google Friend Connect. Furthermore you can know whether your Twitter friends join the sites or not. Personally it is not really meaning to me.
  • For Facebook, why so serious?

Yep, for a conclusion, I still choose Facebook Connect for my blog.
