Google+ Sign InGoogle announced that third party developers can now enable users to sign in using their Google+ account to their own applications. Twitter, Facebook, and many others have this and Google+ just added it yesterday.

Why is Google adding this? They want more users to use Google+, they want more user data.

Will you add this to your site?
