Facebook have been busy over the past few months building a selection of widgets for content publishers to help users share content. Their latest is the Facebook share button which was released this week.
The share button can be dropped onto a page very quickly, it also includes a counter. It is currently the easiest way of sharing external content on Facebook.
Each week, users share more than 2 billion pieces of content on Facebook, and most of that sharing is facilitated by Facebook Share buttons across the Web, on websites like YouTube, Wall Street Journal, and Photobucket. With just a few lines of code, Facebook Share is the simplest Facebook Connect, feature you can add to a website. Today we’re making the sharing experience on Facebook and off even richer by launching the next version of Facebook Share, with a live counter, as well as new ways to measure how content is being shared on Facebook.
