Google +1 Button now with Share Feature (similar to Like button)
Hey guys,
Not sure if it's posted already but thought I should share this cool feature with people who are not aware of it. One of my subscriber has notified me of this recently and I have researched a bit on it.
Google has added a share feature with it's +1 buttons. Once click on a +1 button you will be given the option to share the resource with your Circles. You can also select which circles you want to share with. Once you share it will appear in your Google+ Stream. (similar to FB Newsfeed)
You can checkout this at Movies | Trailers | Critic Reviews - Rotten Tomatoes
At first it seemed to me that it is compulsory to use schema tags (hxxp://schema.org/) on the blog/site to implement this. However I tried it on my blog (has no schema tags whatsoever) and it worked just fine. So it seems all my +1 buttons are already equipped with this feature.
For some reason I like this share box better than Like button's box, maybe it's the colors!
[Note that you have to hold your mouse over a bit before the share option shows up]
Here are a few screens I took with a test account,
Let me know if this feature is working on your blogs as well.
