Like every website on the Web, everyone wants to be just like Facebook. Google decided to make something similar to Facebook's "like" button. They're calling it the +1. So, if you're on Google and you want to "like" an article or something you +1 it? I really doubt anyone is going to do that. We use Google to type in a word we don't know or if we can't remember someone's name. In my opinion, it's really dumb and no one is going to want to +1 anything. But, I could be wrong...

How do I +1 this?
Google has been trying really, really hard lately to break into the social network scene. They've been largely unsuccessful. I have to agree with Alyssa here - I don't think it's going to be popular!
Maybe some other search engine could have better luck, ya know, BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOOGLE ;)
+1-ing something? That just sounds ridiculous! People do not go on google to, for lack of a better word, "like" something. Google is used as a search engine and that is all and it cannot even come close to comparing itself to facebook considering they are two completely different websites used for a variety of different things.
I think Google is useful for many things, but one of them is not social networking. I don't think anything could possibly overtake the Facebook craze for right now, and Google is wasting it's time trying.
I've heard about this happening! I think it's a little weird but it might be a hit. I don't think Google should try to be Facebook. They are both totally different sites and they are both used for different things. Google's effort is a little hilarious to me, but we shall see where this goes.
I think that at this point, Facebook is so established that it would face no real threat from Google, though Google can certainly get a few more followers as it adds another piece of flair. In the end, though, I think that this will prove to be a waste of time and resources.
