What do you think about Google deactivating the GFC widget for non-blogger hosted blogs?
Thanks for looking :) Xoxo, Christine♥
:O awww shocking
ReplyDeleteI really hate that they are doing that! I will end up adding blogs to my RSS feed in google reader which makes it so much easier to follow blogs. I tend to miss posts on twitter and facebook
ReplyDeletebut it says non-blogger hosted blogs and our blogs are hosted by blogger can you please explain the defination of non-blogger hosted blogs?
ReplyDeleteHold on, I'm confused. You're blog is hosted on blogspot which owned by google ? So how can we not be able to follow you through it??
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know it's only the non blogspot blogs which will have the widget removed.
ReplyDelete@SadeeStyle What I think it means is that you can only follow blogs through GFC if you have a Blogspot account yourself. Those who follow GFC through Twitter, Facebook, etc cant do that anymore!
ReplyDelete@Sidrah!!!! I really wish they didn't do it. Maybe they will change their mind, lets hope so :)
ReplyDelete@AdmiralBiatch What I think it means is that you can only follow blogs through GFC if you have a Blogspot account yourself. Those who follow with GFC through Twitter, Facebook, etc cant do that anymore! It sucks :/
ReplyDelete@DawnieP Im keeping my fingers crossed that they change their mind. I dont see why
ReplyDeletethey have to remove it? :)
Does this mean that the bar at the very top of everyone's blogs that has functions such as 'Follow, Share, Report Abuse and Next Blog' is going to be taken away or is it something else?

I am also a bit confused with their policies too. I've always had a blogspot account, but then purchased my own domain. Now what? Guess will find out. No sweat. Would love to follow you through bloglovin.

That's really bad :( I hope they don't do it!
ReplyDeletereally??then GFC widget will completely gone?
ReplyDeleteI wish they don't do it :(
ReplyDeletewhy are they going to do this ?? this is non-sense !
ReplyDelete@Terri I only think its the GFC widget that will be removed but Im not sure :/
ReplyDelete@Girlie Blogger I guess we will find out soon, lets hope they decide to keep it. I dont see why they are removing it, makes no sense to me :/
ReplyDelete@Rakhshanda Me too, Im keeping my fingers crossed :)
ReplyDelete@Chiara I have no idea why they have decided to do it, I completely agree with you. I really hope they change their minds
ReplyDelete@Mia Im not sure if they will remove the widget for good or keep it but I think you can only follow blogs through GFC if you have a Blogspot account yourself. Which means that those who follow with GFC through Twitter, Facebook, etc cant do that anymore!
ReplyDeleteFollowing you on Bloglovin, Hellocotton and Twitter. I'm trying to get used to these sites instead of GFC x
