I agree that the article has too little to add for all the ominous sounding words.
But why not make the +1 button private by default? It annoys me that when I +1 something it's public. Shouldn't the total count of +1's be what everyone wants to know anyway?
I mean, seriously, nobody cares what I click +1 on. Capitalize on that.

- cag_ii 15y agoIf this is the case, they really need to work on the wording... If I hover over the +1 icon on this article, the popup text states "Publicly +1 this as <MY NAME>".

- vibrunazo 15y agoIt's because of search. If you share something on G+ it will be emphasized on others' search result. If I have you on my circles and like what you share, then I would care about what you +1. Because it would make my searches better.
