Google have today announced and launched their latest social venture "+1". The new and fully integrated feature allows users to give websites a "public stamp of approval", viewable to friends who come across the result in search. Think of it as a kind of Facebook 'Like' for search results.

This is undoubtedly the big G's hardest push into social so far, and although 'the like button' is now well seeded within the internet community, Google's traffic monopoly sets them in good stead for the title of content sharing champion.

Who reads the small print? We all kinda know we should, but we all kinda... don't. But who can blame us? It's hard enough just keeping up with all these hot new websites, services and social networks, without spending half our online time reading through their hundreds of pages of legal terms and technical jargon, right?

Surprisingly, this specific detail isn't the worst of their findings, as the terms then go on to read the following...

Since the Internet became a force to be reckoned with we have stood aside and watched a variety of hacks, houxes and pranks courtesy of social media and the odd crafty internet goer. This week has proven to be no different with Twitter user and best man 'Anon' rigging his newly wedded freinds honeymoon bed to Tweet out everytime the bride and groom get 'on the job'. Hillarious right?

The Twitter account @newlywedsontjob has been attached to sensors placed under the bed that send out Tweets everytime the lucky couple start and stop bedroom activities, along with a 'Frenzy Scale' rating!
