Google +1 Lets You Praise Content, Share Awesome Stuff with Friends

Google GOOG officially rolled out its +1 feature this week, allowing websites to embed a “+1” button on all of its pages, which in turn allows users to show their support for a particular news article, product, service, place, etc. Google, which describes the +1 feature as being shorthand for "this is pretty cool" or "you should check this out,” suggests that users click the +1 to publicly give something their stamp of approval. Friends, contacts and others will then be able to use your +1's to uncover your recommendations when they search the web. See the “+1” button next the title of the story? Click it and you're good to go – it's that simple. Now that every Benzinga page is +1 equipped, you can share your BZ love with the whole world.
