Google+ is the new social networking initiative from Google (funnily enough). Many describe it as a 'Facebook killer'

Here's some background info on G+

www.google.com/intl/en_uk/+/learnmore/

G+ is currently in beta testing, which means you can only sign up to it and start exploring its possibilities if you have been invited - we understand at the moment that even those invited are being asked to form an orderly queue. We're already in there playing around, however

G+ offers some great possibilities. One of which is the +1 feature - you may have noticed this now appears across ilegal - towards the top left of each page:



If you are signed in to your Google account, you can use the +1 button to publicly show what you like, agree with, or recommend on the web. By clicking on it, it also allows you to keep a link to the page you have clicked on stored in your +1 list in your Google + account

We just wanted to let you know that we are ahead of the curve and have incorporated the +1 feature into both our forums so, if you are a Google user you can now recommend ilegal (or any particular page) by clicking on the icon

As a Google + user, it will also then be saved to your +1 list. Please remember it's still beta testing however, so it may be a bit quirky

It's also worth saying that we are currently considering using Google + in place of our Facebook presence - you may have noticed we've been reducing our work on FB for some time now

In the meantime, if you too are on Google+ then find 'Patrick Torsney' on there and get linked up now
