+1 Button for Images

Recommendations from your friends help making decisions on everything easier, from where to eat, to what movies to watch and where to go for your next trip -- and pictures can really help you decide. In March, we introduced the +1 button to let you make recommendations right from your search results page. Now, we’re extending this ability to Google Images.

Share to Circles with the +1 Button

The +1 button is a great way to recommend the pages you love on Google Search. But sometimes there’s content you want to share right away -- at least with certain circles of friends. That's why we'll be rolling out sharing on +1 button soon. Nuanced sharing is a critical part of the Google+ project -- this enhancement is a first step to exposing such sharing across the Web.

Millions of sites are using the +1 button to let visitors recommend their content right in Google search results. Now these sites will get an added benefit as +1 provides an easy way for visitors to share content into Google+. If you manage a website, your visitors can start a conversation about your site’s content with the circles who are most likely to enjoy it, expanding your audience while helping your content get noticed on Google Search at the same time.
