With the recent release of the Google Plus beta (ask me for an invite if you want one), I felt it appropriate to show a simple way to create a Like or +1 button for your Rails application. The app and concept is pretty simple, so I won't worry about posting the code below.

Install:
gem 'make_flaggable', :git => 'git://github.com/cavneb/make_flaggable.git'
bundle install
rails generate make_flaggable
rake db:migrate
Models:
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
make_flaggable :like
end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
make_flagger
end
