Google Search has become the standard for how we find everything including music and tickets. It's why music marketers care about **Wikepedia** and **MySpace** – they rank high in search results. Yesterday, **Google** introduced a new feature that influences those results, **+1**. To recommend something, users click a +1 button on a page or ad much like a tweet or like button with results appearing in Google search. **More + Video:**

To start, we'll see +1 buttons appear next to Google Search results, ads and with other Google products. But over time Google hopes that web designers, bloggers and others will add +1 buttons too. Marketers know they value of making social sharing easy. Most artists, however, have been slow to add tweet, like and other sharing buttons; not just on the front page of their site, but also next to individual blog posts, tour dates and other information that fans are often eager to broadcast.
