You’ve heard of the term “my +1″ right? Well, Google recently introduced a new function with the same idea. According to Google, +1 is shorthand for “this is pretty cool” or “you should check this out.” It’s a new way to publicly give your seal of approval to things on the web (similar to the “Like” button on Facebook). The big difference with +1 is that you and your +1s can help your friends, contacts, and others locate stuff that’s great when you search the web. Think of it as your own personal endorsement of content, a service or a place.

How do I +1?

I could see that I had given it a +1 and so had one other person I know. Sweet!
