Here’s a step-by-step video that shows you how to easily add Google Friend Connect to your WordPress blog with ZERO programming involved. Very simple.  If you already have a working WordPress blog and a valid Google user account (both FREE by the way), you can do this in about 10 minutes.

Some of my friends on BetterNetworker.com have already taken a stab at it and added this new social networking gadget to our sites/blogs. Remember to join my blog and invite me to yours once you’re done.

If you are not quite sure what Google Friend Connect is, I think the easiest way to explain it is that it’s a way to turn a blog/website into a node in a social netowork.  This concept basically a social networking community in reverse order of sites like Facebook or BetterNetworker.

Facebook or BetterNetworker requires users like you and I to set up an account before we start filling the site with content.  Friend Connect allows you and I to take content we’ve already created on our blogs and websites and make a “social network” out of all these blogs/websites.  The result… A GIGANTIC social network that spans across millions if not 100′s of millions of sites and blogs!
