Facebook Like or Recommend Button has now changed its functionality, taking over the role of Share Button.
Earlier this year, we’ve seen several updates on Facebook such as Redesign of Facebook Profile and Business Fan Page and Brand New Photos Interface. Today, Facebook rolled out a new update on its Like Button, which now functions as a Share Button, changing the facebook user’s way of liking a page.
With this new update, it lets you share your content with friends on Facebook. Once you click the LIKE Button on a third-party website or within a Facebook app, the story link will be published as a full story with a headline, blurb and a thumbnail on your profile wall. It appears larger so it becomes more noticeable and enticing to click.

The story link you’ve liked will be also displayed on your friend’s News Feed with a link back to your website, giving you more opportunity to drive more traffic to your website. You and your friends can now even post a comment on that story link unlike previously, only a link to the story would appear in the recent activity, which is usually unnoticeable by most users.
