The Frustrations of Google Blog Comments

An interesting discovery I had while posting comments on my virtual book tour was that when I tried to select “Google Account”, it would authenticate successfully but never go anywhere after that. And it seemed like most people were using the Google Account feature only for their blog comments. The only time it worked was when I was using Chrome. I understand the convenience for those who use Chrome often, but for people like me who use Safari or Firefox, it can be really annoying. It might even make people reluctant to leave comments, it certainly almost did for me. In any event, I have switched to using Chrome solely in the case where I need to post comments. For everything else it’s Firefox or Safari.
