Confused.com

I am confused about this whole GFC i have just looked on Blogger Buzz and there is absolutely nothing to suggest that GFC will be going on the 1st of July. Which makes me feel as though maybe there's a little rumour going round. If anyone as a link to suggest other wise, i would like to see it. Click here to see what i found. But according to Google information wrote 28th of November 2012 they wrote:

p.s. Those of you with the Google Friend Connect followers gadget can keep using it, if you like. We retired most of Friend Connect earlier this year, but we'll keep it running on Blogger for the foreseeable future.

So in my eyes it look's like panic over. Basically Google are improving the audiences of people who have a blog via Google+ with a new followers gadget that will make your blog grow. Please click the link on the first paragraph to see more. I don't know what this means whether you lose the followers you already have and start from scratch but it's up to you whether you wish to do it or not. However if you are totally unsure due to the rumours, if they are rumours because i haven't seen correct information saying this is the case i would advise you to connect to Bloglovin' or get Twitter to stay in contact with your followers and them in contact with you.

Hope this helps 

Just found more information Google+ improves your audience by letting people share your blog in their circle on google+ there is no need to panic what so ever because your followers will stay and you can have both GFC and Google+ gadget on your blog. More information here.

  1. Hey, from what I found out before is that people that have blogspot at the end of their website are fine, it just affects those with wordpress or other blogs, xoxo.

    1. Alright. According Google the GFC will still remain. It didn't mention anything about wordpress or other blogs just blogger. I did go onto google+ as it lets you have a quick look at what blog would look like and i don't likely lol. So i didn't click agree. It links your profile in google circle up to your blog so thats the main profile. I don't really go on it and quite like the way things are now. xx

    3. Yes i imagine i just don't like the look of it lol. I think i will keep mine as it is and see what happens come 1st of july if it changes i guess theres nothing any of us can do about it. On the plus side we have bloglovin' and twitter to keep in contact with blogs thats are of different company to us. I think its because i don't pay attention to my circle thing on google maybe going to google + will motivate me into giving it some tlc xx

  2. It is Google Reader that is going, you can read about it on Google blog, http://googlereader.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/powering-down-google-reader.html
    I'm not sure if that affects us or not, I'm totally confused about it to be honest.

    1. Oh thanks. I don't think anyone knows. Have heard off a few its not bloggers beight affected just the likes of wordpress, etc. I enjoy reading a few off wordpress so i guess bloglovin' is good for that reason. I will check out the link though and see what it says but i think i will just play the waiting game see what happens come 1st of july. X
