Google’s Friend Connect Rolls Out On Blogger

citysocialmarketing.com — Google Friend Connect has been released on Blogger, but it ’s still trying to fly below the radar. Instead of Google calling this “Friend Connect”, they refer to it as “Following” on Blogger.

  • Diggopolis, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8UP-DATE: This might have been Google testing something again. It was there, but either I am doing something wrong and can't find the button or it's simply not there now. Anyone else try this?
    • ulb1963, on 09/17/2008, -0/+5I didn't see a follow on the blog that's linked to this submission, but the follow seems to be working OK on the Indiggnation blog that this post linked.
      • Diggopolis, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2Thanks ULB. This morning it had a button on it and later when I looked the button was a text link. I was wondering if Google is playing again. :)
  • RocquesDiggs, on 09/17/2008, -0/+7I saw this at 6am, and I was lead to Blog Log or Blog Catalog. That was quite some time ago. I could not find the Friend Connect button then or the Indiggnation video. I just found it right now. Plus there is a Follow This Blog widget. It is sad since I let my blogger blogs go in favor of Word Press. Now that Google is going to be a player in the social scene it might be worth taking another look at Blogger.
    I am going to have to check out the widget for my blog.

    Thanks for sharing this information.

  • str1, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2Might be time to buy stock?

  • TheOneArmedMan, on 09/23/2008, -0/+1Friend Connect is very important as it will be where we make friends, follow blogs thru the widget because joining the blog adds the RSS feed to our Google Reader. I cannot wait for this to roll out on Blogger any day now. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Digg, you should add the widget to Digg somehow and embrace OpenSocial. It would bring fresh new life to Digg.
