You may have already noticed the Google+ “+1” buttons on the site, as lately we’ve been playing around with the social networking service here at Asphalt & Rubber. It took the internet search behemoth a while to roll out pages for sites like A&R, but we’ve finally gotten our Google+ page up, and had some time to populate it with articles and such.

An alternative to website’s like Facebook, Google+ most notably lets you share and connect with other users based on your social circles, e.g. you can select to share articles from A&R only with your motorcycling friends (sparring your non-motorcycle friends from your two-wheeled addiction). So, if Google+ is your social network of choice, be sure to follow us on there to get your daily motorcycle fix, and “+1” any articles you wish to share.

You may have notice the quad-colored speech balloon button that’s showing up at the top of posts now. A couple of weeks ago Google launched its appropriately named Google Buzz service, which allows users to share links, photos, etc via gmail.

Clicking on the button will bring up a pop-up window that will automatically load with the link of an article, and allow you to type a brief message that you’re about to share with your friends on gmail.

So if you’re a gmail user, now you can spread the A&R love via Google Buzz, just like you’ve been doing with our Twitter and Facebook buttons. Enjoy!
