This is an interesting development – Facebook has announced new ‘like’ button that everyone can implement on the web/blog. This plugin makes it easy to add the button to your wordpress blog. Here is how Facebook describes it:

The Like button enables users to make connections to your pages and share content back to their friends on Facebook with one click. Since the content is hosted by Facebook, the button can display personalized content whether or not the user has logged into your site. For logged-in Facebook users, the button is personalized to highlight friends who have also liked the page.

Facebook’s ‘like’ integration allows you to easily integrate Facebook’s social features on your blog. You will find many plugins developed by various developers that make adding the social plugins to your site as simple as a few clicks.

The ‘Like’ button can be added at the top or bottom of articles. You can control where and how it appears. It is also available as a widget.

The activity feed, comments, the like Box and recommendations are also available as widgets.

You can also include a “Like Box” for a Facebook Page you have set up. So, if you have a Facebook Page associated with your website or company, etc., you can include that box on your website.

Happy integrating your Facebook into your WordPress blogs/ site!
