Google +1 button
Apr 6th
Like the ubiquitous Facebook ‘like’ button, Google has launched an experimental feature ‘+1 Button’ 
. It is basically a recommendation service that for the first phase of release will only be limited to the Google search page. Later it will be another button all over the web (expected) that will enable you to share the stuff you see online. Google would definitely work hard to avoid privacy issues that it faced just after a few days of release of Buzz.
To enable it for your Google account you can visit the Google experimental page in Google Labs and click on join. Remember you cannot use two experimental services at a time.
Note: The +1 button will take some time/days to appear with your search results. Be patient.
Meanwhile have a look at the video.
