Web Nudge

Few days ago, Blogger introduced a new Blogger Widget, blog following. This feature was experimental before, but now it's open for all :)
The idea is simple, following other bloggers blog, from your blogger home page.
It's like using Google Reader, 'but restricted for Blogger blogs' and it also gives a sens of community.



Currently I have only one follower, which is me! But I invite you all to follow my blog. People following my blog, will have their profile images shown on the Followers widget, but it you can hide it by being an anonymous follower.

The idea of Blogger is great and here's why:

1. The more Blogs you follow, the more your promote your Blogger profile and then you increase your popularity.
2. The more follower you have, the more readers you get.
3. Follower must visit your blog, if they want to complete reading an article published on your blog.
4. You can read other non-Blogger blogs, by importing them from Google Reader.

I have put 'Restricted for Blogger' between two '', because I'm not really sure, if Wordpress or other blogging platform can add the Following widget or view their list of followers.
