Google is currently experimenting with a new social recommendation tool called +1. Google describes +1 as:
“The +1 button is 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 on the web find the best stuff when they search.
Google is attempting to mimic Facebook’s ‘Like’ button/feature to allow users to interactively like search results, web pages and content from the web. It will be interesting to see how or if Google will factor in +1 recommendations into search rankings. +1 will most certainly be something to keep an eye on.
