Today I asked myself why the icon beside my comments was so ugly, when other users had beautiful ones.
I right clicked on them and saw they came from gravatar.com (both nice and ugly)…
Friend Connect
Few days ago I subscribed to a new service on Google called “friendconnect“.
Subscription is available to anyone, however accounts are hand picked by Google at this moment.
This isn’t new, Google did the same for Google Apps, and other services.
Google Friends seems very promising as its part of the Open Social Project.
I installed it at 12:00pm, when I returned to work at 13:00 somebody was already using it.
Another great thing is the “Wall Gadget” It allows page visitors to leave a comment on a page. This wall could be the same for any page of our site or diferent for each page. (very useful for blog articles)
I suppose things will change in the way sites socialize.
A site can have attributes that before were limited only to blogs.
For example: A company could have the interactivity and feedback directly from the main site having no needs for a blog.
You need a Google account to use this service, anyway it looks good.
I’m taking a closer look at it here at my site and will be writing about “Google friend connect” right here.
Please be welcome to participate even if you’re just curious. (Find the friend panel at the lower right of this page).
You can see the introduction video here…

Today I tried to change the antique blog address (http://blog.pablosilvioesquivel.com ) to the new one.
So I went to my control panel on Technorati ( Technorati Profile ) but there seems no way to change it.
So I made a new blog Claim.
This post is just a necessary step to acomplish that.
