Google Launches the +1 Button http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/9322/introducing-the-1-button

Your +1's can help friends, contacts and others find the best stuff when they search. Danny Sullivan's got a great article about what the change means for the search giant in the greater scheme of things over at SearchEngineLand.com.
