I have the Google +1 button on the Caribbean-On-Line home page, but it is not getting any love. If anyone is using Google + could you hot that page for me:

Thanks!

I'm on google+, we created a "surf" circle. 
I'm not on facebook, so can't describe the differences accurately, but as I understand it there are 3 big differences between the two:
1. Google is organized around "circles" of friends. So everyone is in one of your circles, and the circles are separate and private. Its pretty automatic, and I guess easier to set up compared to Facebook.
2. When you cancel your account, Facebook makes it very difficult and you have to delete every photo individually. Google is much easier....one button, everything deleted.
3. Google has a very clear policy of not sharing your personal information after you delete your account....your info is wiped off their servers. This isn't so clear on Facebook.
Oh well....I can "hot" you, but how the heck do I do that???

Can someone give me a clue? Thanks!
I followed up on my invite, but I am clueless beyond....Anthony wrote: Also I have invites for Google + if anyone wants one - PM with the email address to invite.

There is tons of info out there about it if you search on it - help pages, a blog I think run by Google, etc. If you have time - or care!
I think overall it is sort of a neat idea and a little bit more grown up than Facebook, although Google did just introduce games into it, etc.
