New Feature Lets You Say Thank You on Google+

There’s a theory that labeling Google+ a social network is missing the point because it’s actually a tool to integrate social into search.  If that’s the case, we can expect to see more “your friends have shared this link” tags in our Google search results in the near future.  A recent discovery by Stateofsearch shows that Google is not only highlighting the stuff your friends share, but are now giving you a way to thank them for sharing it.

So the way it works is that after you search for something and your Google results show up, social search results will be highlighted with the standard “your friend Bob +1’s this.”
