IndiBlogger members get an early peek into the working of Google’s Blog Compass
Being in the midst of the latest happenings in the world of blogging is something we love at IndiBlogger and this time around, it felt a bit more special when we received an email from Google asking for assistance with getting critical feedback on their new venture from the IndiBlogger community.
And Google loved it! Here’s what they told us:
Thanks to all of the trusted testers from IndiBlogger
who helped us test the app until now. Your input found 316 bugs and feature requests, over 80% of which have already been fixed.
It was very enterprising to know that Indian bloggers played a key role in sharing their experience with IndiBlogger and Google. However, we’re sure that every Indian blogger must have been ecstatic to talk about blogging, especially with a company that can make things happen for Blogging on a very large scale.
Blog Compass is an Android app that integrates with WordPress and Blogger.com blogs. It tracks all of your site’s statistics and helps you get inspired to write your next blog post.
It is available today as an open beta.
Blog Compass By Google
We thank everyone for their contribution. The sheer preciseness and magnitude of your feedback can never be quantified, in fact it is priceless and we’re positive that Google Compass will serve blogging well, because of your own unique experiences.
We are sure that every time we open Blog Compass, we will see a little bit of all of you in it.
For us, this activity reconfirmed our faith in the medium of blogging. It is an art that would never stop, a hope that would never be lost and as long as it remains on the open highway of the internet, it will continue to be the most credible and thought enabling source of information. Blogs don’t hide and there is something about that openness and freedom that cannot be denied.
Some awesome days ahead! Keep Blogging.

I already used this Blog compass . Its really awesome. it help blogger
used? as in you are not using it anymore ?
I came to know of this only three days ago in a mail by indiblogger. Would have loved to participate in the programme. Have tried using this app now and for now I am liking it.
I was already used by Google when they were testing the App. However, I have no idea how to use the digital payment with which they rewarded us.
hi Gita, could you please email — indi at indiblogger.in
We will take it from there and figure things out.
Yes. I was one of the people Google approached for testing. I use Blogger for my blog. I used it regularly during testing and suggested certain changes too.
A quick check on if this would be rolledout to iOS devices too…
I participated in their pre launch survey.
It’s really nice to see the app is out and helping bloggers to build up positively with the blog insights. I joined during the testing phase and had a tough time installing during then, however when it came out a Blog Compass the installation and authentication were super easy.
Glad to see all the features working fine and helping with trending topics too.
I have used this app and it is very useful for planning my blog posts.
Hope it will help in a great way to blogger s, thanks to Indiblogger
