How Google+ Affected Social Sharing

After analyzing data from the "Technorati Top 100" websites and their RSS feeds, plus the 20 most-recent blog posts (both before and after Google+ was announced), it appears market share has changed.

Across the board, more of the top sites are using Google +1 buttons (similar to the Facebook "Like" button).

The amount of shared content on Facebook has fallen, since Google+ was launched, the analysis suggests. There also is less use of Facebook sources after Google+ launched. One might suggest the data shows people are sharing on Google+ and using Google +1 more than they did before the Google+ launch.
