Can like button be customized? For example to change it to a link? I’ve search on google but i found nothing.

Hey! Great article. But in need of an update as the “Like” button has changed quite a bit. It is true that “Like” button has all the features of the share button now, but in the past, when you clicked on a like button, the link would have been shared on your wall and the news feed. Now, if you don’t add a comment, it only shows on your wall, not on the news feed which makes it lose its main purpose. Liking is not sharing anymore!

Thanks for the linkback!
You might want to add the Google +1 Button now too!

Thank’s for the post, but it’s still unclear which to use. I agree that social networking presents will be a factor in the future, but it has to improve considerably before it can be implemented. As with all things SEO we’ll just have to second guess.

Danny, might wanna check your share buttons. Further to this http://bit.ly/ebYSrX it seems FB are turning off shares. I noticed on my own site, started looking around and note that (for me anyway) your share buttons are not working as intended anymore either.

Well as of a day or two the like button now replicates pretty much all of the share’s functionality : thumbnail, excerpt, comments. Only thing missing is the ability to include a message with your link
