Google’s Plus One button is the new service from Google as a step into the social network sharing arena with Facebook’s “like” button and Twitter’s “tweet” buttons.
There are many other networking and bookmarking services offering sharing buttons, such as Linked In and Stumble Upon to name a couple. Along with Facebook and Twitter, these established services have the systems and social infrastructure to allow their members to share links with their friends and contacts.
Google Going Social
Although Google doesnt have a successful social network (any attempts in the past have pretty much failed), they are definitely planning something bigger and better & they already offer a new dimension to the search results with their Social Search.
Update 2 July 2011:
Google+, their new social network, has had a soft launch to invited people only.. it’s looking very popular after only a couple of days!
The Plus One service will allow anyone with a Google Profile to “plus 1″ a page and add it to their profile page’s +1′s tab. The search results already let you know if your contacts from other services, like Twitter, have shared a link. With the arrival of the new social services from Google, they will soon also tell you who has +1′d a result in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).
