rianvdm: This is from Google+. I don’t understand why there is a grey +1 button that does something very different than the slightly more grey +1 button on the other side. Putting it on separate sides of the panel doesn’t make it less confusing… Good point. Especially in this state. How would you fix this? To me, the grouping of actions on the left gives some sign that the left “+1” is an action. When hovering over the post, the actions become clearer. Anyone want to venture how it could be made better? High-res
