An update on Google Friend Connect

1 day ago by A Googler

In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.

As part of this plan, starting the week of January 11, we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we’ll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.

We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.

We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers.

LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

All Life matters.  We are losing our Liberty
and with it our pursuit of Happiness.

Some of our fellow citizens are enslaved
by their own racist view of the world.

As Lincoln observed a Nation divided
will not stand.

America has become deeply divided
during, and because of, the rhetoric
and policies of  President Obama , Eric
Holder, and many politicians, with the
media serving as their mouthpieces.

Failure to secure our national borders
has resulted in America being invaded
by tens of millions of illegal aliens.

The President has violated his oath
of office, trashed the Constitution
and systematically created havoc
within America and in foreign lands
whether by design or as a result of
incompetence.

The end result is the same. The
survival of America, and all Americans
are on the line. Crises abound everwhere
in the world.

The security and stability of America
and the entire world are on the line
because of failures in American
foreign policies and lack of leadership.

European nations are being overrun
and appear to be unable to save
themselves.

The Middle East is totally destabilized.

The world is on the verge of war and
self destruction. There will be no winners.

American voters are the court of
last resort in restoring our Constitutional
Republic and electing true leaders who
can restore security at home and abroad.

Is the America electorate up to the
challenge?

The 2015 and 2016 elections will tell
the story.
