One week after Facebook initiated their new “Like” button, over 50,000 websites have integrated the button into their sites. The button is used to recommend different websites, blogs, news and a lot of other articles and sites to the user’s friends.
In the face of Facebook’s effort to spread itself around the internet, many blog sites have reacted favorably. Other businesses and people have expressed concerns about privacy and are fearful of Facebook possibly wanting to be the dominant power broker on the internet, fearing that it will be put into direct competition with Google and it’s search engine.
This spreading itself throughout the internet link by link could change the way SEO work and searches are done. And that will make Facebook a direct threat to Google and it’s search empire.

This is good idea, I think. It helps get the word about to people about different websites. When they “like” it then all of their friends will see and visit the site. People are curious and click on the links from their friends all the time.
I’m not really into clicking on buttons, but since so many people do use them I think the Like button for Facebook is a good idea as a business approach to receiving more traffic.
Since so many devices and sites are going to apps, I guess this, the Like button, could also be called an app for that, or Facebook in this case.
I thought it was weird they changed the fan to like but I am all in favor of facebook linking to sites. They are much better then myspace.
