The latest from Blogger Buzz
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.
