Google +1

Word on the Street

Google +1 is a powerful tool for retailers (and all kinds of other businesses for that matter). This is Google’s answer to the Facebook “like” button that’s plastered all over the web. Google explains – “With a single click you can recommend that raincoat, news article or favorite sci-fi movie to friends, contacts and the rest of the world. The next time your connections search, they could see your +1’s directly in their search results, helping them find your recommendations when they’re most useful.”

This is what’s called “social search” in the biz. And, it’s the main reason Google is running scared of Facebook in the search game. P.S. 3rd Street has been optimizing Facebook ‘like’ buttons, Google +1 and all kinds of other social connectivity.
