An update on Google Friend Connect 1 month ago  by  A Googler In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs. As part of this plan, starting the week of January 11, we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs.

We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog,...

The same scenario was witnessed in semi finals yesterday where Canadians were fighting against one of the strongest team of Pool A – Netherlands. Inspite of being one of the weakest team in Pool B , Canada managed to keep Netherlands with their score low as 2-0. The Canadians must have known that they have very little chance to withstand the strongest team but their energy and body language portrayed the desire to win, and if not win then at least make the reputation of fighters.
