Social SEO: Google Adds +1 Button To Image Search
Nov 9th
Google continues the inevitable wallpapering of the Web with the +1 button, adding it to image search today. This makes Google image search into a social affair, highlighting images and displaying annotated recommendations from your +friends. Images will now appear in the +1 tab of Google+ profiles.
This extends the Google+-powered personalization of Google search results into the realm of images. Social search could be the greatest impact of Google+, since the +1 button now affects the way Google search results appear. For anyone logged into his or her Google account, social signals have begun to affect the results of all kinds of Web searches whether users want that or not.

Google introduced the +1 button in June, about a month before Google+ was unveiled. It didn’t make much sense until the social network opened and Google users got a profile with a +1 tab. Then Google added +snippets for sharing pages to Google+ with the button, and it became useful. It was just like Facebook’s ‘Like’ button, only for Google+.
But because of Google’s search business, the button has some subtle but important implications. It provides feedback to website administrators in Google Analytics, and it now appears on desktop and mobile AdSense ads, allowing Google to monetize the social feedback. But the most important implication of +1 is clear from today’s addition to image search: it actually affects search rank.
Google+: Social SEO
With yesterday’s launch of Google+ pages for brands, some new implications of Google+ appeared. As well as allowing fans to +1 a brand, it also gives brands the opportunity to add their page’s name to a program called Google+ Direct Connect. Once enrolled, users who search for “+[page name]” in regular Google search will be taken straight to a Google+ page. Google+ is not just for sharing now; it’s an important part of being discovered through Google search.
Google+ has also infiltrated Google News. Articles now display authors’ Google+ profiles, as well as their circle counts and the ‘Add to circles’ button, right alongside Google News headlines. Furthermore, search results now privilege Google profiles when searching for an author’s name.
As Google continues to plaster the +1 button and Google+ profiles everywhere, these will become increasingly important factors in how each new kind of content appears in search results. Whether Google+ takes off as a social network or not, anyone optimizing content for Google search will have to adopt it.
Speaking of which, don’t forget to add ReadWriteWeb to your Google+ circles.
Do you click +1 on content while you’re surfing the Web?

Dell Optimized Deployment Now Enables KACE Image Migration
Oct 11th
With the world’s #1 PC maker HP now in full transition mode, now may be the time for Dell to get its full come-uppance. On the enterprise side, it’s had two big aces in the hole for a few years now: One is Optimized Deployment, which borrows Microsoft’s data imaging technology to enable admins to rapidly deploy fully-configured Windows operating systems and applications to multiple clients in minutes. A 2010 study (PDF available here) showed automated image-based deployment could save businesses up to $337 per PC, in IT management costs alone.
Another is Dell’s extraordinary KACE management appliances – literally plug-and-play tools that perform inventory analysis on corporate networks. A KACE tool lets admins deploy applications, patches, and updates to designated systems in the network.

You’d think it would only be a matter of time before someone at Dell put two and two together. This morning, Dell announced it’s enabling its Optimized Deployment service to team up with its KACE appliance to deploy fully pre-configured Windows on selected clients.
This Dell video describing how the KACE K1000 deployment appliance works, comes with a somewhat familiar voice.
Now, the company says, the Dell service will also make it possible to deploy Dell clients in a network, and using the image migration service, automatically transition retiring HP, Lenovo, or Acer systems to those Dell clients.
As if to rub some salt in the wound, Dell’s announcement today came bundled with the results of a survey of some 130 HP customers of 500 employees or more, commissioned by Dell. Amid all the chaos surrounding HP’s executive shifts and realignment investigations, some 46% of respondents to the Dell survey said they were less likely to purchase HP products now than before. Some 47% of HP PC users in enterprises and 23% of users in companies with HP servers told the survey they were considering alternatives to HP. One wonders how much higher those numbers would have been after today’s announcements.
