Google Introduces Social Graph API
As the title says, Google has released a new Social Graph API that reads public data from different social web sites and links the relations between people in the web. Basically, Google crawls between people’s relations and connections which is available in public personal data anywhere in the web, then it will find FOAF and XFN relations or any other way of connections as Google says.
So if I’m your friend, and you’re a friend of person B, and person B adds person C in his blogroll then Google Graph API can tell me that I have a connection with person B and also C whether that connection was found directly or indirectly.
