Google's Blogger in March is discontinuing the "Friends Connect" we all proudly keep in our sidebars.
It is disappointing because it is how we all stay connected and use it to visit each other
They are encouraging us all to use GooGle+ instead. Which means another page
to fill out and connect to. Sheesh......
Google + is it competing with FB? Yes it is who will win???? hmmmm
If you have an email and you are connected to Google+ then we can be connected, but if not
then how will we find each other??? The only way may be to note down somewhere the blogs you like most by adding the feeds to your sidebars....this will help us some but not those that have
100s or 1000s of followers...
Sad is the word I think of .....a lot of us will definitely miss it...

From what I've read it sounds like Blogger blogs will keep friend connect, and blogs that use Type Pad and Word Press will not have the option. They are being encouraged to do Google+ and the Circles. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteWell, I am not very happy about this either. i have just been fortunate to go past the 200+ followers and I too use this facility to keep track of what everyone is doingetc. Thank you for letting me know and I will look into making sure I have a copy of links. I hope Della is right but it is a shame for typepad and wordpress users.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope that is true and they keep the Friends Connect...I am approaching 100 friends and growing daily.. Yes Della it makes sense. I think Goggle is trying to compete with FB...Debb
