    Default Google +1 Button Updates


    If you are logged in and have linked your social networking profiles (especially Twitter) with your Google Account, searching would never be the same again.

    From my own experience, Google has started showcasing results shared by you and your friends on Twitter (and other networks like Buzz … Not Facebook though I believe as they block Google) in the first page itself.

    Earlier these pages were shown at the bottom of the page. So you could check them out specifically or simply ignore them. But now they are mixed with the search results and are highlighted with the name of the user who shared it.



    This is good for the user I guess if his friends share good stuff on the web. It is bad for folks who follow a lot of random people on Twitter. And it is definitely not good for people who rely on SEO.

    In simple terms… if you want to help me out… Share the useful links on broadbandforum.in through your Twitter accounts! Buzz should help too.

    Default Google +1 Launched!

    Google launches their version of the like button named +1

    YouTube - Introducing the +1 Button

    enable it here if you want to start using it.

    Google Experimental Search

    here is my google profile tab of the +1s (just realized that you would not be able to see this tab on my profile)

    the +1 button for web pages would take a while to appear. meanwhile, you can always help this forum out by sharing it on social networks and clicking on the +1 button on search results!

    here is the page where you can enable/disable it for third party sites.

    Google Bookmarks is also there. I was using it to highlight the search results using the star icon but they removed it recently. Then I started using the bookmarklet. I also use trunk.ly for bookmarking pages I like. I end up tweeting a lot of links because google indexes them and highlight in search results. +1 is just the latest. at the moment... there are no bookmarklets, no buttons... the only way to +1 a link is from the search result pages which makes it hard for me to highlight pages I like. very annoying.

    once you enable it from here Google Experimental Search it should add the tab automatically to your profile.

    I've enabled that experiment already, but don't yet see any +1 anywhere, can you post a screenshot of what you see and where? Nothing new on my profile has shown up so far.

    you need to be logged on.

    experiment needs to be on.

    might need to clear your cache (and cookies).
