NEW SITE: LinkyFollowers.com

Three days ago I launched www.linkyFOLLOWERS.com … A couple of thousand people have already signed up for their FREE account (and it will stay FREE, promise).  People are LOVING the new site!  Here’s the scoop:

As you’ve probably heard, the popular Google Friend Connect  (“GFC”) is going away March 1st for non-Google blog platforms like WordPress, and the scuttlebutt is that it will be eventually phased out completely to be replaced by  Google+. GFC was never really so much an “I follow this blog” tool as it was an attempt at the whole Facebook “friend, like” concept.

Bloggers need a good “follower” tool and one that is not tied to a million other services (seems like Facebook, Twitter and Google are linked to everything else on the Internet).  It needs to be simple, fast, easy-to-use and reliable.

Introducing LINKY FOLLOWERS (www.linkyfollowers.com)  I’ve created this FREE service that a group of mom bloggers tested and helped develop.

One last thing, the inevitable question: can your GFC followers be automatically moved over? NO. Google won’t allow access to those accounts (the part you need like email addresses) but more importantly, YOU really shouldn’t sign up someone to a new service. They should voluntarily sign up themselves.  You’ll need to ask your GFC folks (and all your blog readers) to follow you using Linky Followers but its easy, quick and did I mention, free?  They’ll love the tool. It’s  a cool way to organize and follow the blogs you love.

You can get started by clicking FOLLOW ME over their on the right side of this blog where the Linky Followers widget is displayed, or by visiting: www.linkyfollowers.com   Hundreds of bloggers a day are signing up. Check it out. You’ll love the tools.

After a couple of years in service, someone decided to try out Linky Tools on Facebook. My only question: why didn’t someone (me?) think of this earlier?

My friend Jodi Friedman is the maverick in question. Be sure to check out her great blog and tools for photographers. If you are a photog enthusiastic, you’ll love her great tutorials, software and shutterbug blog.

Check out her use of Linky Tools on Facebook here…
