They’re releasing Google Friend Connect. It allows plugins to manage people’s logins to forums and blogs to post and comment which reference a single profile rather than having to sign up to every site you want to post or comment on.

They currently have 3 plugins built (Drupal, WordPress, and phpBB) but welcome anyone to build additional plugins for other sites.

My wife Laura and I went along to take a few pics and videos. We ended up helping out a bit with passing out the water to the runners as they came across the line.

With ~5,000 running from all over the world registered, it was pretty crazy as you can imagine. I wrote a full post up on it on our new unofficial company blog here:
Insurance Quotes News (unofficial because I just threw it together without anyone agreeing lol)

but here are some of the highlights

These are the top 3 wheelchair racers after they finished. #1 was Brad Ray from New Mexico with a time of 53.04 (the sleeveless guy in the back). It was crazy watching those guys coming over the hill with how hard they were pumping and how fast they were moving.


All the way from Ireland, Martin Fagan broke the men’s record by 11 sec running a 1:01:05.

I also have these guys on video below in action. Of course I plugged the videos with our sponsoring company details ;)

And here are some shots of our crew:
