Google Profiles has XFN now

[brad]

Google Profiles just launched a new feature that's too dorky and obscure to warrant an official "Google blog" blog post, so the product manager on it said, "Brad, you're dorky... you should post it. You do Social Graph API stuff. The right people would read your blog, right?" (roughly)

So sure, I'll blawg it here.

But if you're reading this post you already know all this, so I'll shut up.

Actually I didn't, so I guess I'm one of your less dorky readers.  But I'm still a bona fide nerd, DAMMIT!

Thanks for posting this.

Excellent. I've been meaning to add some actual content to my google profile for a... couple of months, and now I have an actual reason to!

Hey...

...thanks for the heads up on this.

I must be a super dork because I tried this out and the "This profile is about me." checkboxes were already checked.

However, it's more likely that Google is actually good at finding which link is really to one of my profiles. Since the guesses are good, I wouldn't fret about including rel="me" for every link by default.

So yeah, kudos to Google for handling this well.

XFN is cool!
