Google Plus – +1 Button and Google+ Badge Updates
Google released its +1 Button (pronounced plus one) to the whole web on June 1, 2011.
The +1 button let people who love your content recommend it initially on Google search, and later on allowed them to share your content on Google+.
Google unveiled Google+ Badge to all users on all sites on November 16, 2011.
The Google+ badge is a customizable widget that helps you connect your site to a Google+ page. Featuring both an add to circle and a +1 button, the Google+ badge makes it simple for your users to add your Google+ business page to their Google+ circles and +1 your page, all without leaving your site.
Google+ brought about two subtle updates to +1 button sharing flow, and Google+ badge to use a Follow button in developer preview today.
As I have a preview account, I received this email from Google+ Platform Preview:
+1 Button Update
The Google+ Platform team mentioned in their email:
First, we’re updating the +1 button sharing flow. Your users have been able to share from the +1 button for about six months. However, the sharing flow has required a second click to open the sharing box.
When you click to +1 today from your preview account, the sharing box will display automatically, giving you the ability to share right away.
Google +1 Button Now Faster
The +1 button will now render up to three times faster on your site
Google+ Badge Update
The Google+ Platform team further mentioned in their email:
Second, we’re updating the Google+ badge to use a Follow button. Your users will soon be able to add your Google+ page to their following circle with a single click.
