Google = the bully

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

Google has screwed me up…twice. When I first started my blog, I was really excited like any other new blogger and posted images that I love. Until one day, I found in horror that Google has put a warning page on my blog (you know the one that said I have offensive material) and I was extremely confused and angry. I’ve posted fashion editorials which have topless models but every major fashion publication online does! That’s about the only “offensive” thing I can think of. All the readers that came to my blog were equally perplexed as well and they emailed me saying they didn’t understand why I have that warning page. However, I continued to blog and I complained to Google about it but of course received no help. Finally, I decided to move my blog to WordPress because it will give me more control over my blog and most importantly, I won’t have to deal with that annoying warning page anymore. I didn’t want to leave my followers behind so I also transfered the Google Friends Connect Widget (GFC) to my new wordpress as well. It took time and money to move everything and keep it functioning well again. I thought I can blog with peace after that. I was wrong.

Now, Google just announced recently that they will no longer be allowing the GFC widget on non-blogspot blogs. This is their way of saying “Screw you if you don’t use us”. Their solution is that we create a page for Google + to transfer our followers and use their other features. To me, it just means more work and more stress. I don’t care about Google + or any other useless applications that Google creates. I want to keep my GFC widget exactly the way it is because I can find out who is following and I can easily check out their blogs.

But since Google has set a date for March 1, 2012 to drop the GFC widget, I have two choices. One would be to devise a plan where I could somehow transfer my followers to other social media accounts like twitter, facebook and bloglovin. I’m thinking of replacing the GFC with my facebook fan page account where it’s a great way to connect with my followers. The other way is to move back to my blogger account but I’ve grown fond of WordPress and I have a lot of flexibility with my blog design. It’s a tough decision.

Are you upset by this change from Google? What are your thoughts/plans for your blogs? I’d love to know!

Two Friends. Same Heart.

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

I think it’s really cool when I see two friends who shared the same taste in style but they both add their own personal touch. Like the girls who love bright colors or the girls who love soft neutral colors.Or you have a completely different taste in personal style and yet are best friends.How badass is her feather bag? I love their facial expressions. Fierce!
