Seems to me ripe for abuse and also ripe for stories of collateral damage.

Why would it be any more abused then the Facebook Like button?

Because, potentially, it can be used by Google to increase site rankings.

Assuming this post is correct, Google is launching a "like button" that doesn't do anything useful. The value of a Facebook "like" is that it gets me into a user's social feed. All this Google button appears to do is give me a rating system for my content. Am I missing something?

If your friends +1'd something that is shown in a search result, aren't you more likely to click on it rather than the other results?

From the article: "Right now, the only way those within your social network on Google will see what you’ve +1′d is if you have effectively created a fresh network just for this, deliberately chosen to expose your +1 activity, and if you’re friends know exactly where to look to see this."

Who are my Google friends? I'm not being snarky, I'm not sure who they would be. People I've emailed via gmail?

Cool! Something else to block in my hosts file besides those insipid Facebook comment URLs.

It's nice that google and facebook are putting all of your inane comments at easily-blockable URLs.

Thanks Google and Facebook!
