Auto expanding of Google+ share box (without clicking twice)

When you click on a +1 button, it increments the +1 count. And again when you click launches a Google+ share box. This is a 2 step process. When this new change is available, Google+ share box will be launched right after clicking on the +1 button (no need for that second click).

We’re updating the +1 button sharing flow. Your users have been able to share from the +1 button for about six months. However, the sharing flow has required a second click to open the sharing box. When you click to +1 today from your preview account, the sharing box will display automatically, giving you the ability to share right away.

Follow button on Google+ badge

This follow button when clicked by your site visitors will automatically add your Google+ page to their Following circle.
