WSIWYG apps and software have destroyed the basic skills we all used to need and use way back when.<br><br>Also in that video is a Firefox plugin that I love for FTP, FireFTP, real slick.<br><br>Lastly, the reason I have taken so much time to get to the bottom of what Google is really doing with GFC is because Scoble said in 2006 that Google Reader would make a great social bookmarking engine, so I took his advice and started using it.<br><br>In case you don\'t know who Chris Lang is, just ask Jack Humphrey, he will tell you I know more about Google Friend Connect than anyone outside of Google.<br><br>Robert, if you have any questions just let me know.</div>\

It just started doing that in the last few days. Cool huh?<br><br>To create your own Google profile, just log into your Google account, if you are logged in, it will show as "my profile" in Scoble\'s profile.<br><br>Google is real cool so far about sharing the wealth, they have added Twitter links to YouTube, in the GFC gadget, and 30 social bookmarking sites to. Try it out by clicking the members section on the lower right while you are signed in, the click the "invite friends" link, there are three sharing options.<br><br>Gmail, (Plaxo and Orkut, if you use it) and share on the right that links to Facebook, and most of all 30 sites like Digg and the rest.

Cool huh?<br><br>To create your own Google profile, just log into your Google account, if you are logged in, it will show as "my profile" in Scoble&#39;s profile.<br><br>Google is real cool so far about sharing the wealth, they have added Twitter links to YouTube, in the GFC gadget, and 30 social bookmarking sites to. Try it out by clicking the members section on the lower right while you are signed in, the click the "invite friends" link, there are three sharing options.<br><br>Gmail, (Plaxo and Orkut, if you use it) and share on the right that links to Facebook, and most of all 30 sites like Digg and the rest.

Because I wasn\'t trained as an engineer, but became one through self-education (and my father was one, so I was exposed), I have more compassion for those normal folk. Of all the publishing tools I\'ve seen in the last few years, the one I find most innovative is Posterous, because E-mail is the one tool everyone seems to have mastered (and no, I have no relationship with Posterous). If we could wrap a robust publishing, editing, and "uploading" interface around E-mail I think lots of normal folk would just be thrilled.<br><br>.LAG</div>\

In the corporate environment where I work, managing and operating our network of Web sites, I constantly see people, smart people, trip and stumble over things I take for granted when I&#39;m wearing my engineer&#39;s hat.  Because I wasn&#39;t trained as an engineer, but became one through self-education (and my father was one, so I was exposed), I have more compassion for those normal folk. Of all the publishing tools I&#39;ve seen in the last few years, the one I find most innovative is Posterous, because E-mail is the one tool everyone seems to have mastered (and no, I have no relationship with Posterous). If we could wrap a robust publishing, editing, and "uploading" interface around E-mail I think lots of normal folk would just be thrilled.<br><br>.LAG</div>\

They feel so overwhelmed because no one is really speaking on their level and they feel like any questions they ask will make them look stupid. I\'m sticking to the 101 approach, because that way, I\'ll always have an audience. <br>Angela Connor | @communitygirl</div>\

I agree the average user doesn\'t know what FTP is or even where to find the right folder to put something in it, the average user knows the internet but how things work behind the scene is a mystery for them. I\'ve implemented the basic components on radio userland, keeping finding more I\'d like to setup which is why I\'m probably moving over to wordpress soon to make it easier to add gagdets such as the latitude gadget, great idea.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-10303394" class="dsq-comment-message">Robert, I just added Google Friend Connect to my site <a href="http://robertfreeze.com" rel="nofollow">http://robertfreeze.com</a> and it was not too difficult for me.  There was only one part that was not clear and that was where to put the two files on my server.  I found quickly that the files needed to be in the folder I had the blog in, a folder called robertfreeze, on my host server and not directly on the main part of the server so the the files can show up as robertfreeze.com/rpc_relay.html and robertfreeze.com/canvas.html.  Once that was done it was just plugging in the code on my sidebar and done.  Now I just need people to join so I don\'t look lonely - I\'d love to have 600+ members in 2 weeks like you - I\'m assuming mine will be a bit slower.</div>\
