Hi everyone

I'm fairy new on here and I have been trying to build up followers using Google Friend Connect. I keep reading various stories that it is going to stop.
Does anyone know what is really happening with Google Friend Connect, will it be replaced by something else, or will we lose all our followers if it stops?
I also use other networks such as Hellocotton, I don't know whether to concentrate on other networks to build up my followers.
Help I'm so confused, please share any information you have as I think this could affect us all.
