Google +1 Modeled After Facebook Like?

Soon Google will begin showing a "+1" next to some search results. In Google's own words, "it's the digital shorthand for this is pretty cool". Or I think it's similar to the Facebook "like" button you find on their site and around other sites across the Web.

It's highly personalized showing you stuff your Google contacts have +1'd. To use +1, you need a Google profile and be logged into your account in order to +1 something.

It's a slow roll-out. Initially, Google's +1’s will appear next to search results and ads. In the coming weeks, it will begin to appear more places including other Google products and sites across the web.

Ciao for now, Paula
