I saw it today, i don't know if BRM has this service for a long time, but i think it is strange. For us, mobsters, members with afiliate acounts and interests, this looks like competition. If i decide to register to +1 i will be ruining the possibilities of awarding points through the afiliate program... or am i not? Explain it to me please, as i want the best to BRM and if registering +1 will be better to BRM, i will surely do it!

We are just experimenting a bit for now. Not everybody wants to be an affiliate, lots of people just want to share what they like and it's easy to do it by clicking the Google "+1" button or Facebook's "like" button.

Oh ok, so you understand that afiliate members will not subscribe that service because they prefer to pass the word in other ways, with other intentions. I thought everyone would prefer to be an afiliate, but i understand that many can have different ways to think. We are all free. As long as BRM wins more good forum readers and writers, that's all good!

That's true, but if you find away to slip an aff link in then I'm sure more people will want to share. I actually have no idea were Google "+1" gets posted, do they have some sort of social site?

Mr. B1g, yes they have http://plus.google.com - but I also think the +1's are displayed in google search results, so if you have a bunch of results, the ones with +1's might rank better, depending on if it's from people in your network (circle).
Google+ (Google Plus) may or may not become big. Their strong point is integration with everything Google... gmail, android, etc.

first i didna realise what fakiry was talking about but then laters saw the new buttons, good option to share the pages by people using these social sites. google plus is google's version of facebook i think. im not much into social networking sites, had a fb account but havent logged in for months. if you share the link it will get posted to ur google profile/ live feed / wall equivalent, so that your friends will be able to see. correct me if im wrong

little off-topic, has anyone been using google+ ? I have an account.. Haven't actually had a play around with it yet.. Personally, I would love to see Google take down facebook, as a company a much prefer Google over Facebook. However- when Facebook destroyed MySpace, everyone was sick of it already, however - I don't really see that happening with Facebook at the moment.
Personally, I don't see Google+ taking off, but would like to hear other peoples thoughts on that...
