Just looked at Google code and found this new project called "Google Friend Connect". Lets see what it can do.
Unfortunately i have been to Google DeveloperDay at Sydney this year but unable to attend the open-social speech. I am not sure how serious Google is on this topic since we have so many successful stories already, e.g. MySpace and Facebook. As a result, i didn't see any point that Google shows endeavor in this area.
However, read a tech story today states that Google plans to propose its iGoogle as a future "HUB" for global users (i bet its functionality is more or less similar to MySpace or Facebook, or even MSN space). As it says, currently gmail "traps" more attentions than any other google products. Therefore as an improvement, Google plans this "Canvas" API for its open-social platform to try to attract as many developers as they can to enrich its current Web content and experience.
I have no interest in terms of this "social function" provided by Google since i use Facebook everyday. It may be soon "fully occupied" by developers, who knows.
