Got it. I rarely use Chrome.

You can click the button to vote for a page (I guess that’s what we’re doing) but that isn’t shared anywhere very prominently–it’s mostly for Google’s benefit, or should be, in tweaking search results. Once you’ve done it, the Chrome extension has a box to write something to share.

I click on the +1 and then a small text box opens up that allows you to share the item or not. I think it gets listed under your +1 list on Google+. But, you do have to do the 2nd step to then post it on your feed. Maybe that’s what Martin was originally referring to.
Try it on this MSNBC page (I just did & it did it for me):
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45162958/ns/us_news-life/#.TrQWb7LQtVU
I’ve also seen it on Gawker and some Italian news sites, but not everywhere (I don’t see the 1+ button on any of the news items I’ve read there.

What sites are you seeing that on?

In the past I noticed on other sites when you chose +1 it didn’t give you the automatic option to post it on your feed. But, I now see that a message box opens up and then you can post on your Google+ feed.

It doesn’t even go into bookmarks (why don’t they integrate this with bookmarks or rethink the whole bookmark idea?). I guess what they want you to do is the second step of “Share on Google+”
