Google has announced that they are extending the functionality of their +1 button to share content on Google+. The +1 button has increased in popularity and now see over 4 billion daily views.
Sharing with your circles on Google+
Clicking the +1 button is a great way to highlight content for others when they search on Google. But sometimes you want to start a conversation right away-at least with certain groups of friends. So beginning today, we're making it easy for Google+ users to share webpages with their circles, directly from the +1 button. Just +1 a page as usual and look for the new "Share on Google+" option. From there you can comment, choose a circle and share.
+Snippets
When you share content from the +1 button, you'll notice that we automatically include a link, an image and a description in the sharebox. We call these "+snippets," and they're a great way to jumpstart conversations with the people you care about.
Of course: publishers can benefit from +snippets as well. With just a few changes to their webpages, publishers can actually customize their +snippets and encourage more sharing of their content on Google+.
Google is rolling out sharing and +snippets globally over the next week. Don't forget you can share iClarified articles using the +1 button below...
