I have stopped using Google Friend Connect for blog comments. There are several things that Google could add to make this more usuable
- It should be possible to specify a home page when submitting an anonymous comment
- It should be possible to configure the wall to not truncate the messages
- It should be possible for the user to configure the what happens when a user clicks on their urls for their authenticated comment (link to Google Friend Connect profile, or blog)
- Google should, and maybe already do, process the javascript and index the page using the content of the comments. There could be a unique comment that someone leaves, and if Google doesn't index it, people will not be able to find the comment.
Yeah, I tried posting a comment via my Android phone (when you had Friend Connect comments enabled) and it was basically impossible.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, using a simple web form like this one is very easy, even from mobile devices, which is where I end up doing a *lot* of my web surfing these days.
