+1 coming to search results, but why in the results? Shouldn’t they just offer a similar facebook “like” button to add to your page? I would first need to see the page/website before I would even consider saying “Hey, I think this is cool and has value!”
They don’t have that button yet, but we all know that is the next logical step to make this addition to Google’s venture into social a more viable. Okay, here is the video followed by Google’s take on what they are offering up:
Sometimes it’s easier to find exactly what you’re looking for when someone you know already found it. Get recommendations for the things that interest you, right when you want them, in your search results.
The next time you’re trying to remember that bed and breakfast your buddy was raving about, or find a great charity to support, a +1 could help you out. Just make sure you’re signed in to your Google Account.
Show +1’s
In order to +1 things, you first need a public Google profile. This helps people see who recommended that tasty recipe or great campsite. When you create a profile, it’s visible to anyone and connections with your email address can easily find it.
Your +1’s are stored in a new tab on your Google profile. You can show your +1’s tab to the world, or keep it private and just use it to personally manage the ever-expanding record of things you love around the web.
