The one that looks like this:
If you did, and you don't have a Google account,
I might lose you as a follower, because as of tomorrow...
Monday, January 11,
Google is going to remove non-Google account profiles from Google Friend Connect.
"...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."

I sure wish I got this post out earlier.
You've got two options:
1) To continue to have my blog added to your reading list,
sign up for a Google account, and re-follow my blog.
OR...
2) Use the box to the right to subscribe by email.

Well that is silly! Why are they doing that? I subscribe to your email and have a Google account so it won't affect me but to others that is a shame!! Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteIt won't affect me either. Google just wants to rule the world :/.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this Amy, I had no idea. I subscribe to your blog so it won't effect me. I read somewhere that Google doesn't play well with other social media. Boo!
ReplyDeleteI have a Google account so I guess I should be fine. I didn't know about this happening.
