YouTube will get the new +1 button instead Like/Dislike buttons

Google is working hard to integrate its services with its social network Google +1, and speaking of this integration, it seems that Google will introduce some changes to YouTube in the future.

Like and Dislike buttons are the essential part of YouTube, and according to the reports, it seems that Google will change the way in which these buttons work. Reports say that Google will remove these buttons and replace them with +1 button, however, +1 button will have the same functionality as the Like button, but in addition, you’ll get the option to share that video with your Circles on your Google+ profile. This seems like the end of the Dislike button, but now we’ll have the ability to share videos with our circles easily.

It seems that Google is rather determent to integrate YouTube with Google+, however, it will take some time for the users to adjust to the +1 button on their YouTube videos.
