Google Friend Connect is Closing... Completely??

March 1, 2012 is believed to be the date when Google Friend Connect is shutting down for non-Blogger users like Wordpress. However, there is a rumor that GCF will be shutting down completely.

Does that mean I could lose that awesome little tool that connect me to my wonderful followers? The answer to this question is completely unsure. This is best answer I could find and I am holding on to the hope my blog would be fine.

Seriously!... I should read news more often and pay attention to Blogger buzz!

"Friend Connect allows webmasters to add social features to their sites by embedding a few snippets of code. We're retiring the service for all non-Blogger sites on March 1, 2012. We encourage affected sites to create a Google+ page and place a Google+ badge on their site so they can bring their community of followers to Google+ and use new features like Circles and Hangouts to keep in touch."

Honestly, I am a little frustrated with this. I didn't even like the new Blogger's preface and now this! I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Only the suggestion Blogger could offer was to switch to Google+

To me it looks like Google is trying to keep-up with facebook to increase their traffic. Changes are good but adjustments are just too much work!

I did switched to Google+ and tried to get Google+ badge gadget which will be a replacement/alternative for GFC. I did however managed to get this...

But can't get this for some reason :(

 So instead, I got this! C'est trop facile! Very easy and ideal for non-Blogger users. You can sign-up here
