Let Me Know and Google Friend Connect
We had added “Google Friend Connect” gadget on the sidebar and got a really good response in terms of 
members. We currently have 400+ members connected through Google Friend Connect. We wanted to create a community around LetMeKnow and help visitors participate and connect with others. Developing a Social Networking component for LetMeKnow would lead to a fragmented effort for “connecting” people. What best was to make use of existing Social Networking components provided by Facebook, Google, Disqus among others. Keeping this in mind at first place we integrated Friend Connect and created a community around LetMeKnow. Recently we have integrated full fledged Google Friend Connect with following components-
- Commenting on Each page
- Recommending content to other readers
- Rating and Reviews
- A Social bar at the bottom
The Social bar mainly shows the Members list as well as the recent activity on the site by other members. Also the Feedback page has got a small makeover.
I agree with this article and in order to reinvent your business you need to come up with dynamic ideas from time to time
Gabriella,
We have been trying out things in the process scrapping things which weren’t necessary or effective. Same with the case of Google Friend Connect. We have introduced Disqus for Commenting and are exploring Facebook for the much required traffic.
