NEW-“Linky Followers”-Google is going Buh-Bye!
Hellow Google Friends-I don’t want to loose you.
As you’ve probably heard, the popular Google Friend Connect (“GFC”) is going away March 1st for non-Google blog platforms like WordPress, and it will be eventually phased out completely to be replaced by Google+. Google is phasing the “Friends” out and is not providing a service to move followers over.
Bloggers know a good “follower” tool is really needed. Those of us who use Linky Tools and know the owner/creator (Brent Riggs), realized he would be perfect for developing some kind of really easy to use “follower” system.
Introducing LINKY FOLLOWERS (www.linkyfollowers.com)
Brent has created a FREE service and he launched it on 2/4/12. You’re the first to be invited to try it out.
Keep in mind this is a new service–there will no doubt be some bugs that the test group didn’t catch. Just contact Brent (brent@brentriggs.com). He is great about fixing things fast. Don’t let a bug or an “oops” hurt your first impression. You’re being invited to be some of the first users of this great new tool, and your feedback will help him iron out any problems very quickly.
I am asking you to please click the “Linky Follow Tool“. It’s easy, quick and did I mention, free? You’ll love the tool. It’s a cool way to organize and follow the blogs you love. As soon as you have an account, please then “Follow Me”.
Please sign up to be a linky follower and then “Follow Me”! This is found on the right side bar of each of my pages right below Google Friend Connect.
Please, please, I don’t want to loose you as a follower. I need you in my life. Love-Rebekah
I googled Google Friend Connect and couldn’t find any info about it going away and there hasn’t been a message to that effect. I’m going to wait until Google tells me it’s going away.
Just stopped by to let you know that I featured your silk scarf top on my round tuit post this week!
