As reported on Google Social Web Blog, Friend Connect API is available for us to enjoy.
Friend Connect API is not really an API, strictly speaking. It's a mixed bowl of technologies targeted at a wide audience ranging from site owners to gadget developers.
The technology mix behind Friend Connect API includes HTML, AJAX, JavaScript, OpenSocial RESTful and RPC protocols, as well as OpenSocial API.
Interestingly, three CMS plugins are provided as a starter - for WordPress, Drupal, and phpBB.
The Drupal plugin, which I'm very curious about, claims to take care of OpenID authentication with Google, Yahoo, or AOL credentials on a Drupal-based site. The plugin was built by Muthu Muthusrinivasan of Google during his 20% time.
Over the weekend I'm going to try the Drupal plugin on actioncomplete.com and will report the results.
