Add a new Facebook Like Button to Your Website or Blog

One of the newest cool things to come out of the f8 Conference is the Open Graph protocol/API that makes it really easy to get Facebook integrated with your blog or website.

The easiest thing to do right now is to add a Facebook Like button to your site:

fb_likebutton_1

fb_likebutton_2

You can see one on this blogover in the right sidebar (for the ProWorks Blog)at the bottom of each postor try it for this post below:

To get this now, go to the Like Button Builder on Facebook.  It's super-easy for a single URL.

fb_likebutton_3

Once you get this going, you can add a news feed of all of the people liking stuff on your site.  That is done with the Activity Stream Builder.  Again, super easy.  Check it out:

fb_likebutton_5

For more information on the new Facebook features, take a look at the recorded stream from the f8 Conference Keynote.
