tech : Facebook will remove Share button in the future

On March 4, 2011, in Social Networking, by Mike Jefferson

We all share and like stuff on Facebook, but it looks like that social networking giant will make some changes to their sharing system.

It seems that Facebook will slowly phase out the Share button, and in the future, if we want to share something we would have to ‘Like it’ instead. Currently, when you like a certain page on Facebook, you’ll get only a single line that says that you like a specific page, but with share button you get more information such as link to the story, thumbnail and a lot more info.

Although Facebook is planning to remove the Share button and use the Like button instead, we don’t have a clue when will this happen. On the other hand, if you don’t like to see all sorts of status updates and shares from your friends, you’ll probably get more of them with an improved Like feature.
