It's been in the news for a while and you might have caught wind about this one if you're a tech follower like me. Google is set to rival Facebook's 'like' button. But I suspect that this is going to be bigger than anything. It is set to change the whole Google algorithm.
I might be wrong but Google's always been looking for ways to firm up search results knowing full well that the results are often slave to what webmasters and search engine experts will do to manipulate it so that they can reach the top 3 pages of given keyword search result page. I was in it when we planted keywords into Meta tags, I was in it when we hid keywords in the background. I was in it too when SPAM wasn't an offense. I was one of the people who tirelessly spammed search engines because back then, there were no (not much, anyway) repercussions. Nothing to fear.
Search engines knew this but I guess, Google's the only one to really take the offenses seriously. And they are fanatical about REAL results. The '+1' (it doesn't really make sense to name it +1, personally speaking) button will also alter the way results are shown in the future, I speculate. The number of +1 will be taken into account when the Google engine goes through the database.
Very interesting. =) So, here's my first +1.
And oh, I soooo did not notice that it is already out there at the bottom of every page of the blog. Ah yes, Google IS Blogger. My bad.
