The Facebook Like button was released 1 year ago and has been a great success. According to Facebook, 10.000 new websites are adding this social tool every day. More than 2.5 million websites have integrated with Facebook, including 80% of U.S. Top 100 websites and over 50% of comScore’s Global Top 100 websites.
The result of all this? Every month, more than 250 million people engage with Facebook on external websites. Moreover, a study last month by Eventbrite concluded that a “Like” is more profitable than a tweet.
And Facebook’s success hasn’t gone without notice. Google recently launched +1, its answer to Facebook’s Like button, and also LinkedIn has a Share button these days to integrate in your website.
