Like & +1

[Scott Greczkowski]

Today we switched over from the Likes system to the new Google +1 system...

Google has been contacting me numerous times over the past few weeks to add the +1 system to SatelliteGuys so today I finally installed it. I am not sure what this +1 system does for us, but others who have installed it have reported faster indexing of messages that are +1 and others have reported better Google Adsense earnings since putting in the +1 system.

While I could have kept the Likes system on, it was basically a duplicate of the +1 feature.

One good thing about +1 is that members can turn it off in their control panel.

Now maybe Google will stop emailing me to add +1.

Preferred the "LIKE" system.

You have to have and sign in to a Google account to "+1".

Google is becoming worse than Microsoft. They are starting to be a pain in the ass, if you ask me. They were supposed to be the "anti-evil". No more.

Yes, we posted the two threads at the exact same minute. Then, as I was saying to close that other thread, you closed it before I hit the Post button. We're in sync now.

Yes, I'm disinclined to set up yet another account, so I suppose I'll forego use of the feature.

I don't like it because it seems to be tied directly to my gmail account.... Not something I want disclosed on the open web.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I will keep it like this for a day or two and see how it goes. Its one button click to turn the old Likes back on.

Ditto. I tire of giving more info to the google. If I like something, it is for the benefit of fellow members, and this seems way too much like Facebook crapola.

I won't use this and would vote to go back to the like feature.

If it brings in revenue, all the better. I just don't think it will get used as much as LIKE, and who wants to fiddle with logging in for this purpose? But, money is money and is important, too.

Nice shot, cosmo!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I turned the old links back on.

Remember you can turn off the Google +1 in the control panel.
