“We want to talk to Google about this and see if there’s a way we can make it work”.

Said Mark Zuckerberg at a news conference in Tokyo. The big social networking site Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, wants to sit with google to talk about Friend Connect.

Google Friend Connect allows Web site operators to add social networking functions to their Web sites. Users visiting the sites will be able to interact with new people or existing friends from social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut and Plaxo. It’s the possibility of data redistribution to third-party sites by Google that caused Facebook to block access, it said last week. ~ PCworld.com

Facebook’s CEO continued to say:

“Part of the issue with Google’s Friend Connect is that when users grant access to Google’s product, Google might share their information with another application, or some part of it, maybe not all of it, without that user knowing. And part of what makes our system work is that people know exactly who they are sharing all their information with”.

I guess with that said, Google and Facebook could make one friendly partners. Let’s hope for the best for all parties involved (users included, of course).
