I got an email from Google announcing the availability of the Google +1 Button for non-Google websites and Blogs. I had requested for an invite for the same whenever it comes alive. And here it is.
While filling out all my profile information in my twitter account recently I found out a section where I could change the way my twitter profile looked.
