Google has released a new widget for the Google Friend Connect service.
Its called “Social Bar” and appears to be designed to save precious sidebar real estate by existing at either the top or bottom of a web page.
It also minimizes the impact of the non-customizable appearance of the other Friend Connect widgets. This is a definite plus if you have a dark theme and wanted to incorporate the Friend Connect “Members Gadget”.
This way you can still see members without the giant light colored box in your sidebar.
(you’ll just have a large, light colored bar across your page)
In any case, this is a welcome addition to the slowly growing list of Friend Connect widgets that Google is offering.
Gadgets to date:
-
Members Gadget
Wall Gadget
Review/Rate Gadget
Playlist Gadget
Lame Game Gadget?

Remember, Google Friend Connect is an open platform that is starving for new, innovative widgets (gadgets) for bloggers to adopt and use.
I’m waiting to see the Google Friend Connect/Facebook profile update/ Twitter post widget…WOW!
