Preview the latest +1 button changes

Friday, July 29, 2011 at 3:55 PM

Webmaster level: All

Want to test the latest +1 features? Today we’re introducing a new option for webmasters who want to be the first to know about changes to the +1 button. Enroll in the Google+ Platform Preview, available globally, to test updates before they launch to all users on your site. When you’re logged into the account you’ve enrolled with and you visit a page with the +1 button, you’ll see the latest preview release.

If you join now, you’ll be able to test the first set of updates we’ve released to Platform Preview: hover and confirmation bubbles.

If you hover your mouse over a +1 button, you’ll see a bubble letting you know what will happen when you click:



After you click, you’ll receive confirmation that the +1 has been applied:



This will give your site’s users an extra reminder of the account they’re using to +1, as well as the fact that their +1 is public.

If you have any questions, please join us in the Webmaster forum. To receive updates about the +1 button, please subscribe to the Google Publisher Buttons Announce Group. And for advanced tips and tricks, check our Google Code site.

Love the momentum and the direction of travel these things are going in. Now if our +1's on posts in g+ were locatable somewhere, it would be virtual nirvana!

BaronLBC said...

Yeah... I think thats a great idea and like Dane said if G+ had stats that would be super cool. There's a lot of +ing going on in there

This can go either way... either people will be more likely to plus or less likely.

I just posted a mockup regarding how to extend this improvement in order to allow sharing a webpage to Google+ without having to leave it. You can see it here:

I hope they make a smaller "Follow" button. Something as small as the +1 button.

+1 turns out to have many benefits, but for me a new one, perhaps not yet a lot to know its function, write +1 benefits even more, thanks
