Today Google has added a new feature on the search feature that allows users to recommend a site, called the +1 button.
While Google's latest feature is enable +1 it will soon appear on search results and across the web.
As Google said, "+1 is the abbreviation for" this is pretty cool "or" You have to check this "
You can see the +1' s from friends, contacts or anyone else, and you have the option to keep your own +1' public or private.
Before you can use the feature, however, you must log in to your Google account and have a Google profile.
This feature is not live, but users can enable it if they want to try it. +1 Button will also start appearing on the website on the Internet.

Fastest Graphic Card by AMD
At AMD we pride ourselves on both the excellence of our products, and in the integrity of our messaging. Let me give you a perfect example. Two weeks ago we launched our flagship GPU, the AMD Radeon™ HD 6990. We had designed it to be a game-changer and we hit the bull’s eye. The result: The AMD Radeon™ HD 6990 achieved the highest default single graphics card score of X3303 using the industry standard 3DMark11 benchmark. And when we launched it, we issued a press release in which we proudly called it the “World’s Fastest Graphics Card” and fully disclosed the basis upon which we made that claim.
Yesterday our competitor also issued a press release, announcing the launch of what they claim to be the “World’s Fastest Graphics Card”– the Nvidia GTX 590. We combed through their announcement to understand how it was that such a claim could be made and why there was no substantiation based on industry-standard benchmarks, similar to what AMD did with industry benchmark 3DMark 11, the latest DirectX® 11 benchmark from FutureMark.
So now I issue a challenge to our competitor: prove it, don’t just say it. Show us the substantiation. Because as it stands today, leading reviewers agree with us here, here, here, and here that the AMD Radeon HD 6990 sits on the top as the world’s fastest graphics card.

Facebook Twitter Integration
Microsoft Bing, the number two search engine on the Web, announced this morning that it has begun including Tweets within news results and and a tighter Facebook integration in its search results.
According to the Bing Team, the inclusion of social media in these search results will help users "make more informed decisions in search by surfacing the kind of information you can only get from your friends, often in real-time."
Last month, Google announced that it would begin augmenting its search results according to whether or not certain content had been shared by your friends. Bing's integration feels similar, though slightly less nuanced.
Rather than altering search results according to what your friends share, Bing will show a feed of relevant Tweets alongside headlines on Bing News.
In terms of Facebook, however, Bing had already been doing what Google released last month - altering search results according to what your friends "like."
The latest update moves in the opposite direction. Now, users can post to Facebook directly from within Bing search results for movies, artists, musicians and television shows.
Microsoft has had a tight relationship with Facebook since 2007, when it beat out Google in a $240 million investment in the social network. Since, Bing has become the default search engine powering Facebook and a number of deals between Microsoft and Facebook have followed. The beginning of a more two-way relationship was inevitable.
