Google Scholar provides citation metrics

Google announced today that they have made citation metrics available to scholars: http://googlescholar.blogspot.com/2011/11/google-scholar-citations-open-to-all.html
According to the announcement, this free service is “a simple way for authors to compute their citation metrics and track them over time...”
This will provide an additional path to track citation impact, and is similar to services provided by Scopus database and Web of Knowledge.
