Google is continuously finding new ways to keep up with the rapidly changing world on the internet, especially with the increase of usage on social networks. Google is known for their reliable search engine Google.com. Today however there is a huge increase of sharing on the web via social networking sites such as facebook and twitter. Some people are able to find articles or pictures based on someones facebook page if they posted something that they want friends to see. Also blogging is a way of gathering information on useful webpages, articles, pictures, online videos, etc. People don't necessarily have to go to Google anymore to find an article, etc. that they want to see or that their friends want them to see.
So how is Google planning on keeping up with this trend?
Google is introducing the "Plus One" button, similar to the "like" button on facebook. Google feels that this will bring more attention to their search engine and make it more competitive with social networks. They feel that the "plus one" helps show searchers what is a more valued article etc.
Do you think that this will make Google more competitive against social networking sites?
