The G has introduced this change so quietly that one might think they really didn’t want any publicity about this. Nevertheless, there are plenty of blog posts about this already, but one that I think goes into a lot of detail about this is on LifeHacker.

Basically, by using an Email/Share button Google allows you to share or email any web content with your friends. Your shared content (stuff) is publicly available for sharing with friends on the Internet. If you see a Google sharing button on any site, click it to share the current webpage in a preferred way:

• You can add the item to your Google Shared Stuff page
• You can email the page, with a custom message
• You can post the page to some related social bookmarking sites

What may be more interesting than this welcome addition by Google, is the fact that Google is sailing towards social networking waters more openly. I wonder what the social network scape would look like if/when Google decides to own (Facebook?) or make its own killer social networking site.
