Google's Google +1 push is now extending globally. If you start to see the +1 button in the search results or on websites internationally, don't be surprised.
Google said they are rolling it out to "sites like google.co.uk, google.de, google.jp and google.fr, then expanding quickly to most other Google search sites soon after."
For more information on +1 buttons, see here. Keep in mind, using it does have an impact on your rankings - Google said that themselves.
The Google + area is here, do you think it will stick?
