Google's +1 button now for other websites too.

Google +1 Button On Web Pages

When Google launched the +1 button last month - its version of Facebook’s “Like” button, but in search results - I said it was incomplete without a web page version of the button.

Today, Google is announcing the +1 button for web pages.

It’s still a recommendation of sites, just as it was before. But now the recommendation comes from that site, instead of a search results page. And that makes more sense. Web surfers are already accustomed to clicking icons from Web pages to recommend them on other sites, notably Facebook and Twitter. With +1, recommendations posted by you or friends are added to Google search results, too, allowing some pages in the flood of results to stand out. From Google’s blog post:

    +1 is as simple on the rest of the web as it is on Google search. With a single click you can recommend that raincoat, news article or favorite sci-fi movie to friends, contacts and the rest of the world. The next time your connections search, they could see your +1’s directly in their search results, helping them find your recommendations when they’re most useful.

Google has released the +1 button code for webmasters so they can start putting on web pages. The buttons is already on some sites - including Nordstrom, Best Buy, Mashable and the Washington Post. It can also be found on Google properties such as YouTube, Blogger and the Android Market. You can use it right away, below this post you'll find a +1 symbol. Click it if you like this post.
