The Facebook Like Button is the fastest and easiest way to share things with Facebook friends to date. It is as fast as if you “Like” something right on Facebook. That is because it actually is on Facebook and uses an iframe. If you like, there is an alternate implementation, but the iframe is just fine for most websites. It requires no additional action from users … no popup, no filling out a Captcha, no adding descriptions. It just takes a single click to “Like” something.
For content producers like me, and there are a squillion of us, it is like a new toy. It takes Facebook to a new level, and should not be overlooked by anybody who cares about reaching people in social media.
The Facebook Like button documentation makes it easy enough for non-programmers to add the button, but I also found that my friend, Ruhani Rabin has blogged a really nice piece for integrating the Like button with WordPress.
It has caught on quickly, and I expect to see it on a whole lot more blogs. Perhaps on yours!
“Like” it if you like it. 🙂
