Google Launches 1 Social Sharing Tool

It's only taken about a year for Facebook Like buttons to infest every nook and cranny of the web.

Now Google is rolling out its answer to the Like button, the +1 button. This will be a way to share links you like with your social network. It is currently experimental and only for use in search results, but it will be available as an embeddable button for sites in the future.It should be noted that if you use your Google account to '+1' something, it will be publically visible. This isn't a personal bookmarking service or anything like that. This is still another part of Google's social layer on the web.
