Facebook Share

Facebook Share is a great way to easily share web content into Facebook. If you have content to share, say a blog post, making it easy for others to distribute increases odds it’ll find more eyes. What better place to have people share things than across their vast community of Facebook connections?  With the average user having 130 friends and writing 25 comments on Facebook content each month it’s hard to resist; head over to http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics for more cool stats.

You’ll notice many web pages and especially blog posts now have a Facebook Share button. Share buttons currently come in the following styles with the main options being button or link and with or without the counter.

Installing Facebook Share is a snap. Just add a few lines of code and you’re in business. To setup your share button, go to http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/share.php and select the type of button you want then paste the code into your page.

Select live counter and it will monitor the number of times your content (the URL) has been shared on Facebook and can include other analytics for the number of shares, “likes”, the number of comments and clickbacks with a few special API calls (application programming interface).

Facebook Share is a marvelous way for anyone to easily share content on Facebook from anywhere on the web.
