Many of the online users might have known about Facebook Share which I had been using since my last blog. Recently, Facebook came out with a new widget, the Facebook Like.
What's the difference? The function is actually the same with only the process of sharing it on your Facebook profile is different. With the Facebook Share, readers would need to click on the Share Button and a new window pops out. Then one is required to click share to post the link on his or her Facebook wall. As for the new feature, those who browse a page will need to just click on the Like Button and that's all. =.= You will get to see someone liking a web page on his or her wall.
One disadvantage of this new widget is that one is unable to share his opinion while posting the link, which can be done through Facebook Share. But in my personal opinion, if a person wanted to share his or her thought, they would just blast it out on their wall, with or without the help or the sharer widget.
Now I had switched from Share Button to the new Like Button as it is really more convenient for users. I wanted to implement it on the day it was launched but was deemed redundant at that time (still feel redundant now). But today, after analysing the benefit and downside of each widget, I finally made the decision to remove the old Share Button and replace it with the brand new widget.
The following is how the widget works:
First when you visited the page, you will see a Like Button (The 1st and 2nd Like Button in the picture above, depending whether anyone had Like it before you do) below the post.
The 3rd Like Button above is shown when you click it. The 4th and 5th Button is the result of your support (by Like-ing). You are able to click it again to remove your Like. But please don't do this as it is not polite to take back what you had given out. =.= You will also get to see if any of your friends had Like this post before you do.
The end result? Your friends in Facebook will be able to see the posts you Like on your wall, thus sharing it to the world. ^^ One example below:
Hopefully the Like Button will help me spread this portal even faster and better. Thanks for all reader's continuous support and please recommend this site to your friends. Now, everyone please click Like to share. ^^
