Followers from Other Social Media Sites
-
I’ve connected to Facebook and it counts all of my friends as followers to my blog. My connection to LinkedIn, though, doesn’t count my connections as followers and I think it should. Is there something wrong with the way I have done it, or does WordPress not count your friends/connections/followers from sites other than Facebook?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I heartily agree with you LinkedIn connections should be counted in the WP.com blog Follower stats if Facebook friends and Twitter followers are included. What’s the difference, I wonder?
Now that Google Authenticator is part of the WP.com experience, I am hopeful for a Google+ connectoid verified commenter login and “social media” share as well.

Thank you for answering my question. I thought that might be the case, but I think WordPress should make our LinkedIn connections followers, too, just like our Facebook friends.

Right! Sorry! I meant authenticated login via — like Facebook and Twitter.

I bet Google is already asking Matt about that, but since that would probably equate to a Blogspot ID, it’s doubtful they’ll allow that here.

I totally concur — that’s why I was so shocked, but thrilled! — to see Google Authenticator as a 2-step option here to safeguard our accounts. Something big changed, and it’s a good break.
I know there’s been a wide divide between Quantcast and Analytics and all that comes with proprietary stats keeping — but now that Google gives me my WP.com login credentials, I can only hope that adding G+ authentication for comments will be a smaller, but bigger, thing coming sooner rather than later. SMILE!
