They are pretty similar but, I guess, it will do better due to the fact it is 'Google' Same that more people would rather buy a Canon camera compared to a let's say Konica. It is the name. I for one will go and have a try. One site bloglog, other site Google.

Google's reach will never be satisfied with just search.. that may be their core focus but they'll always look for other pies to stick their fingers in.

It's really tempting to drop my MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog widgets to install this, but I'm still not sure if I want those widgets displayed at all. What's the point of displaying all those thumbnails? I do like potential for blogs to go viral once people log in using google, facebook, openID, etc. accounts.

And while it does seem like Google is trying to take over the universe, I have to say that their features are always downright awesome. So perhaps a future version of this friend connect feature will be a must-have for every blogger.

Google want to personlise search, so this could well go towards determining what certain sectors of the herd wants. Your tastes and preferences will definitely reflect to some extent on your network of friends.

How many different ways to connect with "friends" do we need? Surely there is a saturation point!

Perhaps they'll use Netflix-like algorithms to find similarities among friends' search histories, RSS subscriptions, locations, etc. to personalize search results?

Why does Google need to copy every damn thing...that a competitor comes up with.

Organize the world’s information and make it accessible to everyone everywhere.
I believe Friend Connect along with Google Apps fits the mission and vision.

Google is the ruler of all things internet....it doesnt surprise me they changed their mind or went against what they had originally stated.

A little slicker interface than MyBlogLog, but you're right it does seem similar.

I believe it is not out of Google's core competency.

With 'Friend Connect', eventually you will see Google everywhere. It is like AOL's strategy in the 90's.
Never leave the portal site.

I am sure you know but Google's vision statement is to

Organize the world's information and make it accessible to everyone everywhere.
I believe Friend Connect along with Google Apps fits the mission and vision.

In my opinion the same cannot be said for Orkut.

I think I will use this Google Feature. I also use lots of Google services and would have no problem using Friend Connect.

I think Google is using "apps" in the broadest sense of the word, it can cover about anything they want ;)
