Google +1 is something new from Google’s core search engine business. It’s kind of Facebook-esque in that it reminds me a lot of Facebook’s “Like” button (as in the one at the end of this article). You’ll see Google +1 buttons all over the Internet and in each search engine result in Google (after you’ve opted in). When you click on it, it will bring these items closer to the top for relevant search results for you and everyone else. People who look at your Google Profile (which you create when you sign up for any Google service) will also see the items you’ve clicked +1 on. When someone on your friends list Googles something that you’ve hit +1 on, they’ll see it that way. It’s a way for everyone to share their favorite content with each other easily, and drive meaningful content higher in Google.
