Google +1 Button Now Offers Recommendations

While Google+ is facing a lot of heat for failing to attract a critical mass of users, some say the social network has a secondary goal that it may be succeeding at - helping inform its search results. One of the key ways it is doing that is by unifying the "+1" feature and releasing it to anyone who wants to use it. It's easy for any site operators to install the +1 button so that users can like their content and easily share it to friends.
