Google is holding its third Campfire One event tonight, this time to discuss the details of Friend Connect with developers.
Friend Connect is a new data portability initiative for spreading social connections around the web. It’s the third of such announcements to be made in less than a week; MySpace Data Availability and Facebook Connect are the other two.
Michael will be streaming the event live via Qik and sending us periodic photos from his iPhone.
We’ll update this post with the photos as they come in. The live stream is embedded below, and his archived video can be found here when he’s not recording.
More information will be available from Google at this URL following the event.
