Google Friend Connect Disappointment
Well I added Google Friend Connect to Traffic Exchange List. It’s disappointing to say that it didn’t work out. I had to reverse the effects on the site. This means all the new comments aren’t there any more, and the way old ones are. I’m going to have to setup the page so you can comment again too.
I apologize if this caused any confusion. The biggest problem I found was GFC included an “Invite” link, which, didn’t allow me to tell it to use your referral link. So you could invite all you want, but it wasn’t doing the referral setup correctly. Oh, and GFC didn’t integrate into the rest of the members area, so it was pointless.
Fortunately the code is still there for the old system, so it won’t take much effort to put back, but it’s still disappointing to have to do it. I was hoping people could just login with their Gmail/Yahoo/MSN account and not have to “sign up” to the site.
Hey Tim, commenting cause of the 10 comment rule, and just to let you know that I enjoy the great info in sharing. Thanks for letting us know as a community, this really helps. Unfortunately sorry to hear about the google friend connect disappointment that would of been so nice without all the hassles and disruptions of the reverse effect. I strongly believe there has to be another way of doing this. Thanks for sharing

Hi Tim,
I’ve never used any of the rapidly proliferating social networking sites. My plate has always been full surfing 1000 plus per day etc and didn’t want to get bogged down in inane chatter about Mary Sue’s new baby or Billy Bob’s fish stories.
A blog sharing positive (financial, list building, recruiting) experiences might be in order?
Thanks again -Max-
Sorry it didn’t work out. I’m sure you’ll find something that will work.

To be honest I do not know google Friend Connect yet.
That’s a shame, but you can’t win them all. (You can try though, lol!)
Thanks for such honest feedback.
Those tools never seem to work just like you want them too. Even if you have your own programmer or programmers on staff… issues are always the same.
It takes years for programs to get fully developed. Look at how far programs like Windows, Mac’s OS Platform, MS Office, Photoshop, etc. have come.
They are always start out buggy and never quite acting like you really wanted them to. A programmer or project manager can never really see every possible angle. It is the consumer/user that is always what makes these apps better.
Maybe you should mention your issues to Google. Who knows? In about 18 months when they update their app or whenever they actually update it your suggestion for improvement might actually be implemented.
