This past week, WebProNews interviewed Matt Cutts of Google on his latest project, Google Friend Connect API. Cutts had some awesome things to say about his new project:

What got my attention was when Cutts referred to a WordPress plug-in that will be integrated using this API. This would be a great feature for bloggers, because you could jump from one WordPress blog to another without having to enter your name, e-mail, URL, etc. when leaving a comment. You would automatically be signed in using your Google, Yahoo, OpenID, or AIM account.

What are your thoughts on this new API from Google?

When I started to take over this blog from Chris Crum, one of my first posts was about NaBloPoMo back in ‘08. I was wondering if there are any new contenders for this year (’09) that are up to this?

If you are unfamiliar with NaBloPoMo (shortened for: National Blog Posting Month), it is a challenge for bloggers to post every day (including weekends) for a full month revolving around a topic/theme (as delegated by the official website).

Any previous NaBloPoMo’ers around that want to share their experience?

Hi everyone! I just found this nifty WordPress plugin while looking at my Twellow Pulse, and thought I would share it with you.

Business Directory For WordPress allows you to add a web directory to your blog in just a few, quick, and easy steps. This is a great way to promote business websites on your blog, and from an SEO standpoint, provide a backlink from your blog to a specific business.

Feel free to try this plug-in out!

Happy Blogging! :)
