Bye Bye, Google Friend Connect!

Remember all those pretty, smiling faces that used to be on my sidebar?!

 Well…
I am sure you have heard that Google Friend Connect will no longer be avaliable on non-Blogger blogs next month.
Bummer, I know…
But that’s not going to stop us from hanging out, right?!

There is a new way to follow your favorite blogs called Linky Followers!
I noticed this popping up on all over blogland:

So, I jumped on board, created my own account and started following all of my favorite blogs!
You can sign up for an account here!
It really is an easy way to follow your favorite blogs no matter what platform they use!

If you would rather, feel free to connect with JIAD through these options:
(you can click each button to take you the different places)

I will try my best to update new blog posts manually through Facebook, Twitter and Google+!
Hopefully Linky Followers will take off in a HUGE way and my sidebar will be filled with all of your beautiful faces again!
Oh yea,
If you add the Linky Followers widget to your blog, please let me know so I can follow you too!

    Ugh, what a pain! Not sure about Linky followers yet… I’ll probably jump on eventually. I follow you via RSS now.

    Google kinda sucks, huh? After all our hard work! I’m glad you posted this though b/c I was starting to wonder what I was gong to do! Is the Linky following the route most people are taking? Hadn’t heard about it until now. You’ll be seeing a similar post on my site soon! :)

  7. I am still so confused by this. Does GFC going away mean that all of the blogs in my Google Reader will no longer be there?? PS I have Linky Followers on my blog. Even though I have no clue what it does..lol!
