GFC and G+-------BlogSpot and Wordpress and others

Saturday, March 24, 2012

Hi all,

Haven't had much time to really blog lately--tax time--and year ends for my clients!! I'm lucky I've been remembering to get those giveaways up!! Almost forgot a few---
Well anyway--on March 30th GFC (Google Friend Connect) will be taken away from those of you on Wordpress and other places. I have a question--will the GFC numbers decrease when this goes into effect? I mean really now--I have worked long and hard to get that darn number up there--and yes I have been diligently working on getting my G+ numbers up there as well!! Then G+ comes up with you can't use them as part of giveaways------------This sounds like a power play to me and I personally DO NOT LIKE IT. This is supposed to be SOCIAL MEDIA not BIG BIZ--but from what I have been reading (as a bookkeeper I tend to read biz news) that is exactly what Google, Facebook (who has been making some incredibly big changes as well) and prob some of the others are doing--they are going public (or thinking about it) --and we--the Social Media users are smack dab in the middle of all of this. We got to figure out how to circumvent all this nonsense!!!!
I know I have personally signed up for as many emails as I can--and I have a list on my blog of a couple of blogs who do giveaways-and of course I use other lists as well-and now facebook is being used to tell others about their giveaway linkys-but we need some consolidation here!! I know I am thinking of deleting (I know I know--never delete a post) my current giveaway linky listing and replacing it (see I haven't lost my mind altogether!!) with one where people can add their own to the specific day they hold it--it would also be helpful if they put the time it goes up (like my Sunday Linky actually goes up between 7 - 8 Saturday night!)--So I think while I have a little time I will do this--I will not delete my give away listing until the new one starts getting large!! And all of us should really start signing up for others emails or RSS feeds!!
