Google's New API

[andrewducker]

Is the Social Graph API, as explained by brad, creator of LJ, back in ye olden days.

There's a good video here on matgb's journal, which is well worth a look.

If you've been deliberately running several different identities, it's time to check that there are no public links between them...

I love your choice of icon there, quite appropriate methinks.

But yeah, there are those that will find suddenly their "I thought they were separate" identities aren't due to some link they may have made themselves, it's already happened with Rapleaf et al. But this is supposed to only collate open information and/or info you've given it (ie you need to say "this is me elsewhere" for it to have an effect.

We'll see, but it should be very good. It could be useless, and it could be awful, and regardless people will complain, but it'll be interesting anyway.

It looks like it only links pages you've marked up as yourself using XFN. I've just done that to link up my various profiles from my personal website.
