Member Social Features

Google Friend Connect

IrishExaminer.com is now using Google's Friend Connect, which allows you to logon and partake in several new website social features including:

friend invite
story comments
ratings/reviews

with much more to come soon.

Signing in

If you already possess a Google, Yahoo, AIM or OpenID account, then you are able to logon straight away!
Otherwise you will need to create a Google, Yahoo, AIM or OpenID account.

OpenID
You may already have an OpenID account without realising it. See here to find which websites support OpenID and also how to create an OpenID. Note that very soon MySpace and Windows Live will support OpenID.

Privacy

As from here...

Google Friend Connect never provides site owners with your private sign-in information. Google Friend Connect and the service you use to sign in -- not site owners -- validate your sign-in credentials.

Once you've joined a Friend Connect site, the site owner can then see your nickname and the date you became a member. The site owner will also be able to see your image and the content you choose to publish on the site, such as a wall comment or a review. Site owners also have the ability to remove members from and moderate content on their site.
