New: Google Now Showing Local +1 Counts

Last week we confirmed Google was showing raw +1 counts in the search results and now today, Google seems to be testing showing location based +1 counts.

@tomcritchlow shared a screen shot with us showing Google only displaying the people in New York who +1’ed a page. Here is that screen shot:

As you can see, it shows 145 people in New York have +1’ed this page.

If you are logged in, you would see your friends who have +1’ed the page. Here is a screen shot:

If you are signed out, I personally just get all the +1 counts for this page. I am based in New York, not New York City like Tom, and I do not see locally based +1s.
