Use Google+ to Improve Your UI
This is absolutely terrible for accessibility. Screen readers will not handle these buttons properly leading to a significantly more difficult experience. James Edwards actually talked about this at The Highland Fling conference a few weeks back.

The Google buttons do use the ARIA
role="button"
attribute, which should let them work in screen readers.
