or, using secure authorisation APIs, with existing friends from
social sites on the web such as Facebook, Google Talk, hi5,
LinkedIn, orkut, Plaxo and others," the firm said.
Website owners can now sign up to join a waiting list to add the

gather feedback from site owners, developers and users," said
Google.
