It’s quite simple, really. Google plus 1 allows you to like Google searches. Once you have logged into your Google account, you have to ability to +1 every search you find interesting or useful. By plus 1-ing a result, it’s as if you are marking your own sign of approval. It’s as though you’re proclaiming to others that the website is innovating, interesting, and that others should visit that particular website. The more plus one’s a website has, the more popular it usually is.

Pressing the plus 1 button will publicly give your sign of appreciation for the website as it will be seen by any person linked to your Google profile page. This includes your friends, family, contacts, and various other people using the internet (who are of course, using google). It will benefit all of these individuals achieve the greatest results they can possibly get whilst at the same time, searching, or being interested in the same things you are seeking.
And you can also benefit from Google’s newest experiment as you can also view what your contacts and friends are plus 1’ing. This will help give credit to a certain website or search result and will help you distinguish the lousy ones from the brilliant ones. Because imagine if an acquaintance you who added plus 1’d a result. You would most likely check it out, wouldn’t you?

This experiment is expanding rapidly. The system of plus 1-ing functions are similar to liking in Facebook, or perhaps digging in Digg. Google became successful because of its simplicity; and this new innovative design represents just that.
