Google Launches the +1 Button

March 30 2011, 7:56pm

The +1 button is a shorthand for "this is pretty cool" or "you should check this out". Click +1 to publicly give something your stamp of approval. 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.
