The Google +1 Button

Google is taking its +1 feature beyond search results and launching a button that publishers can include on their own websites.

The button, which debuted in March in Google search, will compete with the likes of the already sharing buttons offered by Facebook and Twitter.

The code is now freely available to anyone.

As with most other sharing buttons, setting up the +1 button on your website is straightforward.
Google has created a tool that lets you choose from a number of sizes and styles, and then provides the JavaScript code that you can cut and paste into your site.

Google is hoping that +1’s integration in search results will make it an attractive option to publishers, which stand to gain more traffic when their visitors start sharing thier content.
