Yeah, Orkut gains +1 and Google is serious about that.
See my articles:
[PREDICTIONS] Future Orkut features
[PREDICTIONS] Orkut won't get killed by Google
And now I stumbled over 2 nice graphics that were created to promote Google +1 in a promobox on Orkut. I like the fact that they matched the styles to fit Orkut's look and feel :)
The first png is called "help_people.png" and fo' sure will carry some nice text to introduce people to the benefits of +1. Probably it will ask the users to +1 Orkut to give it a try.
<div style="margin: 20px 40px 0px 290px;font-size: 20px;font-weight: normal;">Help people find the stuff you love on Google search<\/div>
The second one is called "thanks_for_plusoneing.png" haha. I like that :D It will be displayed after.. you might have guessed it... plusoneing Orkut ^^
<div style="margin: 10px 0px 0px 10px;font: 22px normal; color: #fff;">Thanks for +1\'ing Orkut!<\/div>
So, dear doubters: Google loves Orkut.
cheers :D

[CHART] !UPDATED! Current and future +1 able items and services
Explanation:
Everything with a dotted border is unconfirmed and speculation. Docs in red is pure speculation.
You might realize how powerful a tool like +1 can be... The ultimate social recommendation engine.
For those of you, who ask now: and what is the difference to normal, public ratings?
Those don't show up in Google-Search.
There is no public rating for a website.
In some cases I really don't give a damn about the ratings of people outside my social circle.
If I want advice, I don't go to a complete stranger for that. I ask my friends and other people I know for their recommendation and THAT'S what +1 is all about.
UPDATE: iGoogle Gadgets confirmed to get +1
Cheers

[NEWS] ReaderPlus+ for Google Chrome updated to Beta 3
[NEWS] BuzzOne for Google Chrome updated to Beta 4

ATTENTION: THE EXTENSION IS CURRENTLY BROKEN!
AS IT SEEMS, THE LOADED PLUS ONE CODE IN PROFILES IS BUGGY/INCOMPATIBLE.
ROLLBACK, WON'T FIX (for now) Poo.
I'll tell you a story now... About my extension and Google's secret codeimplementation.
Not so long ago, BuzzOne stopped working for unknown reasons on the new profiles.
Turns out: Google has already implemented the +1 source, but isn't using it yet. hehe.
Ok, I modified my extension so that it uses the existing, hidden +1 code that officially doesn't exist.
If you encounter issues, you might still have an older version of the New Profiles, but that should fix itself soon.
The update is currently rolling out worldwide and it should be available in the next couple of minutes/hours!
Changelog:
#UPDATE BETA 4:Uses now Googles unofficial +1 code hidden in New Profiles
SPEED IMPROVEMENTS! should now be easier on the resources (a little)
Various fixes. Now with 50% more awesome.
get it here if you don't have it yet.
cheers!

[BREAKING] Google Code / Project Hosting gets/has +1
As some of you might already know, the Google API's recently gained a +1 button. So far, so good, so cool.
But how about all hosted projects? Wouldn't it be great to be able to +1 them?
Well... Google is about to add plusOne here too. The script is already loaded on the project pages, the only thing missing is the code-snippet that will be the entity for the +1 button!
So, they basically just have to add the standard +1 code to the projects template and we are set and ready to roll! ;D
I updated the +1able services chart too (again.)
For those who still don't get the difference between a like and a +1:
[PROTIPS] Why Google's +1 and likes aren't the same.
READ IT! And stop complaining if you refuse to educate yourself -.-

(yeah I plusOne'd it right after taking the screenshot :P)

[BREAKING] Google Groups gets +1
Another discovery:
Google Groups shows already the first signs of +1 implementation! Only downside is, that I just found one reference to plusone in the code. So either way they just started or I'm too dumb to get the other jscript code loaded. but I'm pretty sure that they'll fully implement +1 here too. It would make a lot of sense in terms of social search benefits :)
So my guts tell me it will happen ;)
Thanks to Fernando for asking me to check the Groups source! Awesome bro! :D

[PREDICTIONS] Future Orkut features
Aaaaaand there we are again.
After I nom nommed some awesome stuff, I'm ready to roll again :)
Ok, I don't know (yet) if the amount of stuff I'll find in Orkut's code justifies it's own blog-entry, because I'm writing it while I'm sneaking through the code, but I'll just start :D
First things first: As I mentioned in my last post: Google won't kill Orkut. (good decision) It wouldn't make any sense to kill it! It is successful in India and Latin America AFAIK, so why should they piss off a loyal user base?
What I would do (and what Google will probably do) is to integrate Orkut into the upcoming Google Social Experience (I still don't know the codename yet... pinto is something different AFAIK, madrelease was +1, chili is Buzz, Typhoon is unknown, pixy is also unknown).
Aaaaand there we have the first evidence that Google loves Orkut and gives it the attention it deserves:
Ok. After we silenced now Captain Crunch and ZDnet or how this third class blog is called, the adults can talk again.
Your <a href=\"https://profiles.google.com\">Google Profile<\\/a> has been created, now you can start spreading your +1\\'s to your friends and to the world! Happy +1\\'s :-)
So, plus one isn't active yet in Orkut, but as far as I can tell, the (plusOne) integration is already 100% finished.
And now to something really interesting: Orkut will get it's own +1 tab!
<p>You can see your +1\\'s on the <a href=\"http://www.google.com\">Google Web Search<\\/a> on your <a href=\"http://profiles.google.com\">Google Profile<\\/a> and on your <a href=\"Main#Notifications?plusone=1\">Orkut +1 tab<\\/a>.
They are also visible to your friends on <a href=\"Main#Notifications?plusone=1\">Orkut +1 tab<\\/a>, you may <a href=\"Main#ProfileSettings\">hide them<\\/a> if you wish.
Something else I noticed, was the opensocial gadget support that is found in every Google product. I guess Orkut already supported these gadgets (just like iGoogle), but the whole system was revitalized and "might" bridge between the different services. I don't have the people-widget yet, but I bet par definition and in the code it's one of these opensocial-gadgets. I don't know if the gadgets are interportable between all those Google services but it would be quite cool. (Add Gadget by url anyone?) But it will probably just be internal for now.

IF that would be the case, I really really wish, that there will be quite a few official, shiny, well working Gadgets... The 3rd party ones in iGoogle are mostly... rubbish. Some are good, but... there is a lot of outdated unsupported stuff floating around there.. Not good. (showing the last date of update would be a great addition to the iGoogle widget-selection-thingy)
Yeah and the Media-Picker/Cloud-Picker gets standardized (or was already, I can't remember) over all products as it seems :)
So far so good, that's all I know for now!

[PREDICTIONS] Future Orkut features
[PREDICTIONS] Orkut won't get killed by Google
I've heard a lot of concerns about Google's new social course and if they might shut down Orkut... so I took my time and sneaked around in Orkut's code to find some evidence and you know what?
Orkut will get a full plusOne integration and got quite some other mods that aren't online yet.
So, for all the haters and all those who are worried: Orkut won't get slashed. It wouldn't make any sense to kill it after investing lots of work into integrating a new social key element of Google's upcoming Social experience. That wouldn't make much sense.
And btw.: Orkut is pretty neat after the upgrade. I don't know if you guys have the same layout etc as I have (it says Beta), but it is quite cool and has a solid fanbase. It might be not as popular as facebook, but it has it's highlights.
I'll sneak around in the code a little later, maybe I find some other cool stuff...
cheers!

#UPDATE ALPHA 2:
Hopefully fixed the jumpy jumpy bug.
#UPDATE BETA 1:
Fixed some layout issues
Cleaned up dead code
Fixed layout in search results
Minor speedup
So far so good, but I still haven't got much feedback yet (if it works at all...)
So if it works or if you experience problems, please let me know... I'll try to fix what I'm able to fix.
And there are still witches and evil monkeys around... beware of the monkeys. They sling their poop. I'm just sayin'. (you are warned! If they sling their poop at you, I'll just say: Told you so!)
Get it here.

New news or no news? Google's social project... Poking around in code
EDIT: Google chili is/was the old codename for Google Buzz. It isn't used anymore since 2010. But I wonder why they use the old name again...
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/browse/trunk/src/contrib/apiBuzzService.php?r=83&spec=svn83
Ok, I'm tired and stuff and probably hallucinating, but I stumbled over this already quite a few times the last few weeks.... burried in the plusone javascript code, there are always 2 names/definitions reoccurring, treated equally.
plusone (short: pos) and
chili o.O (people widget? Or something else...?)
More stuff from the plusOne javascript source:
Obviously it uses the Google connect api (http://www.google.com/friendconnect) too.
A mobile version of plusOne is obviously already being tested:
var h = !ea[gb][Ka](/iPhone|iPad|Android|PalmWebOS|Maemo|Bada/)
Here is the interesting part:
As you can see, there is lots of interesting stuff going on here... plusones and next to everything we all already know "activities" "groups" "people".... and it is not buzz! I searched the code but buzz is referenced completely different... this is completely new! Maybe it is the people widget... I can't tell, because I don't have it yet...
But it is in the plusone code and not in gMail's code... odd huh?
I'd love to get my hands on the people widget, so I could be sure what it is... or maybe I find more hints... Who knows? :)
Dump for various things:

New news or no news? Google's social project... Poking around in code
[NEWS] ReaderPlus+ for Google Chrome goes public! [PlusOne for Google Reader]
Howdy you... peoples!
Well, (most of) you liked my BuzzOne extension so much, that I thought: Hey, sleeping is so overrated, I could do the fricken same thing for Google Reader! (even if Google will probably introduce +1 for Reader soon and I'll have done the whole thing for nothing)
The only thing that sucks is, that this feedproxy crap currently screws up some of the +1'd posts... so not the real post gets +1, but the redirect-thingy from fricken feedproxy.... (and others like feedburner and that stuff.)
Be assured that I'm currently looking into it, but for now, you can have a look at
What it does:
It adds a plusOne button to Google Reader, so you can plusOne a Blogpost right in Reader.
How it works:
Click the plusOne link to reveal the button.
Why do I have to click twice?
Because of perfomance issues connected to loading the jscripts (try the twitter plusOne and load 100 tweets, you'll see how slow it gets n some systems)
But I want to just click once, because I'm too weak or too lazy to do it twice! -.-
Shut up.
Feel free to request features, but it is highly likely that I don't have the time to integrate you wishes or fix all issues.
If you have coding experience and hints on how to improve performance, please have a look on the code and let me know!
=====CHANGELOG=====
INITIAL RELEASE
--------------------
known issues:
- doesn't resolve URL's that were masked by feedproxy, don't know what this crap is for anyway... Will hopefully find a solution to fix that in the next release
- loads sometimes "not that fast" (it always depends on how clogged your connection is and if reader has finished loading external scripts)
- might not be (almost certainly is not) compatible with themes or other extensions that radically change the structure of reader, but you can test it and report incompatibilities so I can try to fix that
- Jumps to the top of the reader post -> not good, priority 1 to fix!
This is NOT a 100% bullet-proof tested, highly optimized extension. It is an alpha version, so probably unstable and not always that reliable.
SAFETY ADVICE:
Wear your safety goggles at ALL TIMES.
Skin contact: In case of skin contact, wash area with soap and water. Rinse well with water.
Ingestion: If ingested, consult a physician and induce vomiting. If you experience dizziness and nausea, you might turn into a robot unicorn in a matter of hours. This is usually not considered as problematic, because robot unicorns are gentle, noble creatures and awesome.
WARNING:
In 10 out of 2000 cases, pirates may spontaneously appear and rob your booty. Not that one. The other one.
Beware of Spacemonkeys. Especially if they are radioactive, have superpowers and wear eyepatches.
If anything fails, breaks or doesn't work: It was a witch.
So where can I get it?

[PROTIPS] Why Google's +1 and likes aren't the same.
10 minutes ago, I thought I'd go to bed, but one of the (luckily few) trolls on Google Buzz pissed me so off, that I will still be awake for a while.
For those who are unfamiliar with my style of writing: I make parts of the text passages bold, so you can skim the article really fast and get all the info you need.
I'll use the time for something I wanted to do since a few weeks now and explain to you, why +1s (or plusOnes) and likes are completely different concepts of social interaction.
Since +1 went public, lots of you are confused and ask: "Oh my, oh my, why the FUDGE do we need another thing next to starring items, liking posts and sharing stuff?"
Good question. But it is the wrong question. In fact, plusOne isn't something new.
It isn't.
Do you remember "starred results" Google turned off a relatively short time before they introduced plusOne?
No?
I will show you:
Starred results were an INSANELY useful feature that allowed you to mark search results from a previous search. You simply klicked on an empty star and... voila it got starred and bookmarked. Every time you search for the same terms or for similar terms, your starred results showed up on the top of the results AND were promoted by a star next to the title.
The starred items were collected in the ... oh wonder... "starred items list". So... maybe you see some similarities here? No? Really? Are you kidding?
Here is the same with enabled plusOne. It is even in the same div enclosure. The starred results still show up, but you can't star new items in the search anymore (it is still possible via the Google search history though)
Aaaaand the +1 Tab on the new profiles:
So, what is the difference now between the old and the new version of this functionality?
The social component.
People who follow you get now your +1's as a recommendation while searching. So if you happen to follow a lot of developers and are a developer yourself, it comes in pretty handy to reduce the time you spend finding answers on Google.
For example: If I search for "Android", logic would dictate that everything else than Google's Mobile Operating system would show up in the first ranks. (seriously... how long does the word Android exist and how many Google-users really know what it could be a smartphone OS too? Does your gran' Erna know? Or your Uncle Eddie?) But I find something different:
All my friends marked for me, what could be interesting, by clicking this little +1 button next to the search result and so, they did a preselection for me. They recommended search results, so I could benefit from their effort too. This is part of Google's social web. So far, so great. But what is then the difference to a like?
A like is just something temporary for us. It exists as long as the post that was liked is visible in the activity-stream/timeline and then it disappears.
And this is good. VERY good.
So what is a like? A like is a temporary emotional reaction to a content. It is an impulsive act to communicate affection, sympathy, empathy, conformity or "I care about the stuff you are posting". It isn't a "reshare", where you value the content of a post high enough to present it to your followers, neither it is something you want to stumble over 5000 times again. You won't bookmark it, you won't want to watch the stuff 100000 times again.
A like is made to disappear. It is emotionally driven and has... please be honest... not very sustainable value for others.
So why the heck would you want to plusOne something like that, which gets shoved in the faces of your followers every time they search on Google?
So, if you would replace all like-buttons with plus-one buttons, we would either have to:
A: stop liking/plusOne content to preserve the benefits of plusOne in the search
or
B: the search results get clogged and it doesn't make sense at all to use the Google search because of the 200 kitten-videos that appear when I search for the Linux command "cat".
To +1 something means that you are resharing it permanently, so use it wisely. Don't +1 stupid and useless stuff. (except on youtube and other large content-sites. That implementation works differently than to +1 posts, activity updates and articles.)
If you like or star something, it is just for you or for a limited time for others. If you +1 something, you should always keep in mind, if it would be useful for others too.
cheers. I'll try to sleep now. I hope you enjoyed my little excursion :)

Aaaaand the +1 Tab on the new profiles:
So, what is the difference now between the old and the new version of this functionality?
The social component.
People who follow you get now your +1's as a recommendation while searching. So if you happen to follow a lot of developers and are a developer yourself, it comes in pretty handy to reduce the time you spend finding answers on Google.
For example: If I search for "Android", logic would dictate that everything else than Google's Mobile Operating system would show up in the first ranks. (seriously... how long does the word Android exist and how many Google-users really know what it could be a smartphone OS too? Does your gran' Erna know? Or your Uncle Eddie?) But I find something different:
All my friends marked for me, what could be interesting, by clicking this little +1 button next to the search result and so, they did a preselection for me. They recommended search results, so I could benefit from their effort too. This is part of Google's social web. So far, so great. But what is then the difference to a like?
A like is just something temporary for us. It exists as long as the post that was liked is visible in the activity-stream/timeline and then it disappears.
And this is good. VERY good.
So what is a like? A like is a temporary emotional reaction to a content. It is an impulsive act to communicate affection, sympathy, empathy, conformity or "I care about the stuff you are posting". It isn't a "reshare", where you value the content of a post high enough to present it to your followers, neither it is something you want to stumble over 5000 times again. You won't bookmark it, you won't want to watch the stuff 100000 times again.
A like is made to disappear. It is emotionally driven and has... please be honest... not very sustainable value for others.
So why the heck would you want to plusOne something like that, which gets shoved in the faces of your followers every time they search on Google?
So, if you would replace all like-buttons with plus-one buttons, we would either have to:
A: stop liking/plusOne content to preserve the benefits of plusOne in the search
or
B: the search results get clogged and it doesn't make sense at all to use the Google search because of the 200 kitten-videos that appear when I search for the Linux command "cat".
To +1 something means that you are resharing it permanently, so use it wisely. Don't +1 stupid and useless stuff. (except on youtube and other large content-sites. That implementation works differently than to +1 posts, activity updates and articles.)
If you like or star something, it is just for you or for a limited time for others. If you +1 something, you should always keep in mind, if it would be useful for others too.
cheers. I'll try to sleep now. I hope you enjoyed my little excursion :)

10 minutes ago, I thought I'd go to bed, but one of the (luckily few) trolls on Google Buzz pissed me so off, that I will still be awake for a while.
For those who are unfamiliar with my style of writing: I make parts of the text passages bold, so you can skim the article really fast and get all the info you need.
I'll use the time for something I wanted to do since a few weeks now and explain to you, why +1s (or plusOnes) and likes are completely different concepts of social interaction.
Since +1 went public, lots of you are confused and ask: "Oh my, oh my, why the FUDGE do we need another thing next to starring items, liking posts and sharing stuff?"
Good question. But it is the wrong question. In fact, plusOne isn't something new.
It isn't.
Do you remember "starred results" Google turned off a relatively short time before they introduced plusOne?
No?
I will show you:
Starred results were an INSANELY useful feature that allowed you to mark search results from a previous search. You simply klicked on an empty star and... voila it got starred and bookmarked. Every time you search for the same terms or for similar terms, your starred results showed up on the top of the results AND were promoted by a star next to the title.
The starred items were collected in the ... oh wonder... "starred items list". So... maybe you see some similarities here? No? Really? Are you kidding?
Here is the same with enabled plusOne. It is even in the same div enclosure. The starred results still show up, but you can't star new items in the search anymore (it is still possible via the Google search history though)

[PROTIPS] Why Google's +1 and likes aren't the same.
Tuesday, June 7, 2011
[NEWS] BuzzOne for Google Chrome goes public! [PlusOne for Google Buzz and Profiles]
Hey humans and ... non humans!
I just wanted to let you know that my latest, finest, first and worst Google Chrome extension has entered public testing.
Don't expect too much. It is crap. And it will probably eat your children.
It might even become self aware and wipe out humanity, who knows?
The safest would probably be, to put it into a potato. But science is fun!
So keep on testing and report bugs.
What it does:
It adds a plusOne button to Google Buzz and Google Profiles, so you can plusOne a buzz.
How it works:
Click the plusOne link to reveal the button.
Why do I have to click twice?
Because of perfomance issues (try the twitter plusOne and load 100 tweets, you'll see how slow it gets)
But I want to just click once, because I'm too weak or too lazy to do it twice! -.-
Shut up.
known issues:
I don't take any responsibility if your notebooks melts or spaceninjas abduct your cat because the extension sends messages to outer space.
If drugged monkeys appear, use your oxygen goggles just in case that the atmosphere catches fire.
If anything fails, breaks or doesn't work: It was a witch.
Where can I get it?
Here at the Chrome Store!

Shut up.
known issues:
- Might break switching to buzzer-profiles in gMail (happened to me)
- Buzzes on New-Profiles still work with a second set of +1 links, will be fixed in the near future -> causes +1 bubbles to show the wrong count.
- Might cause layout issues.
- Doesn't properly load if you enter directly a new-profile page and switch to Buzz tab later (happened to me)
