The other day, Google announced its intention to tie another service to its social network. This time the blogger blog service will be integrated. A few days ago, journalists from one of the informational publications close to IT found that when editing a user profile in the Blogger blogservice, a message is displayed suggesting that they link their account in this service to their Google+ account. At the same time, the links indicated in this invitation were broken.
After the publication turned to Google for comment, representatives of the latter announced their intention to integrate Google+ with Blogger. In this case, integration may occur very soon, literally within two to three weeks. Unfortunately, for the time being it is not entirely clear how one service will be tied to another, but it can be assumed that a message published in one service will cross-fast into another.
The developers have already stated that the integration of Google+ will allow Blogger users to work with the functions previously offered by Google Friend Connect. The latter clearly became unnecessary after the appearance of Google+, and the company has already closed the forum of this service and discussion groups. It’s likely that Google Friend Connect will disappear soon. But the functions of this service will work on Google+ and Blogger.

In the future, according to one developer, deeper integration of Google+ and Blogger comments will become possible.
All this will allow the company to compete with Facebook, because Google+ will actually get all the functionality of Blogger, despite the seeming autonomy of the blog service. Perhaps, Google+ will also offer users of third-party resources a system similar to the current Facebook Comments.
UPD. While this post was being written, an official confirmation was received from Google. The confirmation says that the Blogger user profile can already be replaced with your Google+ profile. Such a replacement opens up several useful opportunities for bloggers, including integration with the Social Network of the Corporation of Good.
