Have you ever come home to a note that made
life just a little bit easier?

A tip from someone you trust that helps you
find the things you care about.

When you have lots of options in front of
you, it’s easy to find yourself wishing

for a bit of advice.
That’s why we’re introducing the +1 -- a

way for you and your friends to help each
other find great things in Google search.

When you click +1, you’re telling your friends,
your family, and the rest of the world: “this

is something you should check out.”
Since people will find your recommendations

right when they’ll looking for them, you
can +1 things you might not send an email

or post an update about.
And the next time you’re searching, you

might see +1s from your friends and contacts,
both on Google search and search ads. So picking

the right coffee maker, news article or chocolate
chip cookie recipe could get a little easier.

And soon you’ll be able to +1 more than
just search results. You’ll also find the

+1 button on sites across the web, making
it easy to +1 pages after you’ve visited

them.
The web’s a big place. Sometimes it helps

to have a tour guide. So if you think something’s
cool, +1!
