Farewell Google Friend Connect


So that’s it!

Google Friend Connect has been retired. Just after we’ve broken 130 buddies too. Obviously we’ll look through the alternatives available but we liked that widget!

Anyone have any suggestions re: viable alternatives?

    I’m sad to see it go too. I took it off my blog the other month once I heard the news. The idea Google has is to see Google+ Pages take over the place of Friend Connect but really it’s not the same. It may get better with time, G+ Pages, but for now they are a sad and unrelated thing.

    Well we knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time. I too liked the widget and hope Google finds something suitable in its place.

    I think you’ve nailed it. There’s no real choice in the matter and even the new widget isn’t half as customisable as the GFC one. Let’s hope this proves to be something that works for us as much as it works for Google…

    Thanks Ron, I suppose I should invest some time in working out what these circle things are eh?
