Finally
Google+ released the most awaited feature and that was sharing site
content with your circles. Now whenever your +1 a page you will be
provided with a share on Google+ option, by choosing which you can post
on your profile a thumbnail image, description and link to that website.
It works similar to Facebook like button now. This new option is named +snippets. Google released this new feature just few hours ago and they have also released Google+ inline Inline annotations which are simple display of your friend's profile images next to the +1 button. Lets know more about these two new features.What are +Snippets?
Now
whenever you share content from the +1 button, you’ll notice that the
button automatically includes a link, an image and a description in the
sharebox. Take an example below. If you +1 the button at the
top-right-corner of this page you will notice an option that says "Share
on Google+" clicking this option will create the following display:
Note: At present only registered members can see new features like +Snippets. First submit your ID at our Google+ Platform Preview and then come back and +1 the button on our blog to see the effect.
Just
like how Facebook does, you can now see an image, Page title link and
description. Its indeed a great new functionality for web owners and
bloggers who want to increase their website traffic. It will indeed
increase site pageviews and thus revenue.
What are Inline Annotations
This
feature help increase visitors engagement after users see a friend’s
recommendation right on your page. The visitor will see profile pics of
his friends next to your +1 button. The visitor will indeed now pay more
attention to your site and will spend more time reading your blog posts
which will surely decrease your bounce rate and bring a significant
PageViews boost.
What do you think?
This
two new added brilliant features is again a response to Facebook like
button and like box plugins. I am sure we have a lot more to see. I am
really enjoying the way Google is developing their social network bomb.
Kindly share your views on this latest development.
