Google Friend Connect

This morning I added a Google Friend Connect gadget to the site. I had to fiddle around with the theme a bit, but in the end it turned out pretty nice. So, what is Google Friend Connect?

Google Friend Connect allows site visitors to log into the member using an existing account (Google, Yahoo, AIM or Open ID). Then you can invite other people to join you at the site, see other visitor’s profiles and additional gadgets allow more interaction between the visitors of a site. It reminds me a bit of Yahoo’s MyBlogLog, a feature you probably have seen on some of the blogs here on the network.

I was running IE7 and the site bombs out on the Google Friend app. I can see everything but the Friend Connect stuff before a message box says it cannot load the site.

LoL, I figure it has to do with the fact that IE likes to do things its own way.
