Google+ gets an official share button

Hey there Google+ fans – here’s a quickie about a new toy for you to play with starting today. Google has introduced a full-fledged “Share” button for Google+, breaking form from the original +1 button which got a visual update a few weeks ago.

Got a site that needs a bit of Google+ sharing action going on? Head over to the Google Developers page to get yourself set up. There’s a handy couple of options, and then it’s as simple as copy/pasting the code onto your site. Enjoy!
