Google’s product manager Sean Liu officially announced on Google+ about the inclusion of new share Link button on search engine result page. The New share link feature will allow users to share any web page/ links with their Google+ friend’s right from their search engine result page.Users will see the share button in their SERP’s instead of the earlier +1 buttons.The share button will appear on all the search engine webpage results except ads; you will continue to see +1 button on ads listings.

I missed out on this, looks like a great improvement to how content can be shared directly from the SERPS. Shame they dont allow you to choose Facebook and Twitter as other options and they force you down the Google route.
This is outdated news i have seen this feature in past itself. With that we can +1 and increase the rankings also
Hi Zelgly, Above feature replaced +1 button last week. For you information, here's the official announcement from Google Employee - https://plus.google.com/107890833589239925098/posts/c384DVbjxv5 Hope this helps.
