| +Snippets on Google Maps: if you can see it, you can share it Posted: 14 Sep 2011 09:23 AM PDT We recently launched +snippets for users and publishers, making it easy to visit a webpage and then share it on Google+. We want to make sharing across Google just as easy, so today we're bringing +snippets to Google Maps. Suppose you're planning a weekend trip to Napa. Your packing list probably includes driving directions, hotel information and a list of nearby wineries. Many of you visit Google Maps for this kind of information already. But with +snippets, Google+ users can easily share directions or places (for example) with fellow travelers. Just click "Share..." in the Google+ bar at the top of the screen, and whatever you see on Maps is what you'll see in the sharebox—ready to share with your circles:  With today's launch, Google Maps joins other Google products like Books, Offers and Product Search in having +snippets. And like Maps, what you see onscreen is what you share—just click on "Share..." in the Google+ bar to reveal the +snippet:  We'll be rolling out +snippets to many more Google products in the future, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we can't wait to see how other publishers customize their own +snippets, all across the web. (Cross-posted on the Lat Long blog)      |
