Everyone knows how to "like" something on Facebook. It's that little click to say, I really don't have anything to say, I just like what you said. We use it for everything from pictures and comments to activity and links. It lets the author know we read it, watched it or just simply approved of it. We don't have to get our voice out there too much if we just want to acknowledge the information. So many people have said they want ActiveRain to have that and I agree.
The goal is to gain more solid reviews and better business sites by adding up these +1's. If there is a lot of +1's the site or business must be pretty good. Here's the kicker, you MUST have a Google profile before you can +1 it. Of course you have to have a Facebook profile to "like" anything also. You can choose to only have your friends or those you are connected with see your +1 or you can make it public. Either way, it's Google attempt at the "like" feature. Now of course we will all want a -1 feature button too just like we all want a "dislike" button and who knows, it may happen but for now this is currently in the works. Not every Google profile will have this tab just yet so don't freak out if you have a Google profile and it's not there. It's so new that the Google +1 may not even show up on your SERP (search engine results page) just yet. But you know it will be all the rage. Get ready to add yet another button next to those birds, lower case f's and orange rainbows... Google +1 is coming.
