Aren't you misinterpreting the effect of +1? +1 makes publicly available the fact that you like something, so you are saying "I want to share with the world that I like this thing"
- barrkel 13y agoIf I want to share something with the world, I'll post it on twitter, facebook, my blog, the off-topic mailing list at work, or another relevant forum for sharing with the people I think may be interested in that thing. There is no context, zero, wherein I want to share anything with everyone; and I'm certainly not going to categorize contacts into "circles" etc. FTR, I think I've clicked on +1 buttons perhaps three times, and all of them were in Google Reader. That also had a sharing feature, which is the thing I used when I wanted to share the article. Mostly I used the +1 to add to the existing like count for any given article - and as I said, that wasn't often. In so far as +1 is for sharing, that's how much I don't use it.
