Google has introduced +1 this week, in an attempt to make search more social.
Google will have +1 buttons next to all search results and ads and whenever you +1 a link, it is shared via your Google profile.
+1 is intended to personalize search results and ads, due to friends recommending sites.
Says Google:
+1 is the digital shorthand for 'this is pretty cool.' To recommend something, all you have to do is click +1 on a webpage or ad you find useful. These +1's will then start appearing in Google's search results.
