How to Create a new Facebook Iframe Tab for your Page Like Button - Développeurs Facebook Why are people seeing a 'Confirm' button when they click on my Like button? There are integrity and spam-prevention safeguards built into social plugins, and this is one of them. If you have been heavily testing a Like button before launching, you may have inadvertently triggered these safeguards. This confirmation adds one extra step to the Like button process, but once the like has been confirmed separately by a number of users, it will no longer appear, and the regular Like button will only appear. Should I display the Like button by itself or the Like and Share buttons together? We recommend that you include both buttons on your website to let people choose the way that they want to share your content. How do I display the Share button without the Like button? To get code to display the Share button by itself, please visit our Share button documentation. How do I optimize my website for sharing using the Like button? What makes up the number shown next to my Like button? For example:
Facebook Fanpage Timelines: iFrame Tabs and Embedding Rafflecopter Widget in Facebook Right off the bat, when Facebook timeline took over I noticed that the pages are much less friendly and the iFrame / FBML tabs you used to use on your older Facebook fanpage view don’t work properly anymore if you had the arrow at top pointing to “Like My Page” this arrow no longer points next to the like button. When someone first visits your page they are greeted with the timeline and your logo and Facebook favorites are the biggest things on display. These favorites by default will show photo’s which can’t be changed, Facebook likes (but not the like button, will just show information and stats about likes) and notes or whatever other sub apps you created that created tabs on your Facebook fanpage. The first thing you will want to do is get rid of the “Likes” favorite by default since this could confuse users and isn’t the actual like button. For those who can’t watch the video, here are the steps manually to create iFrame tabs for your Facebook fanpage. Non-Fan Favorite Display
If You Tell Them On Facebook, They Will Come...Again and Again In continuing to look at the way that Facebook has become a driving force behind online news consumption, Heather Hopkins of Hitwise has dove into the numbers again, this time examing how Facebook users compare with others in return visits. According to Hopkins' article, Facebook not only drives a high amount of traffic, higher than Google News, but its users are far more loyal, as well. Hopkins took a look at the data earlier this month, noting that Facebook drives three times as much traffic to broadcast than Google News, and now we find that these users are also repeat offenders. That is, they don't just visit once, they come back for more. Hitwise data indicate that visitors from Facebook are more loyal to News and Media websites than are visitors from Google News. Why do we care about this metric? Hopkins doesn't get into the "why" behind the numbers, but we'd be willing to wager that it has something to do with a few reasons.
FB.Event.subscribe These are two events that are fired when a person's authentication state changes. These events are generally more useful than the auth.login and auth.logout events since they more closely track state and also work with both the JS SDK and the Facebook Login button. If you have a page that has code that listens for these events, you are likely to receive these events during page load. auth.authResponseChange The auth.authResponseChanged event is fired when the auth response has changed.

Who is looking at your Facebook? 3 Privacy Options you NEED to set Back in September we reported that Facebook had, at the behest of the Canadian government, implemented a host of new privacy options. However implementing these features meant changing users privacy settings, and while Facebook took lengths to make sure that users were prompted with a message about the new privacy settings and given immediate options for securing their profile, the pop up left many people with a false feeling that they had secured their Facebook profile from prying eyes. In fact, the update left many things open and accessible to the public, things that you need to secure. 1. One of the first things that happened after the Facebook switch over was that everyone's albums became public, including profile pictures. To correct this, click profile and then at the bottom of the page click "Album Privacy". If you have photos from parties, photos of yourself drunk, or any other embarrassing pictures you will want to set those to private, friends, or custom. 2. 3. Like this post?

Your Mom’s Guide to Those Facebook Changes, and How to Block Them Facebook launched some fairly impressive new features and services at its recent f8 conference, but some of them were also more than just a little scary. Since a lot of what the company talked about was introduced in either “developer speak” — involving terms like API and JSON — or involved social networking jargon such as “social graph” and “activity map,” we thought it would be handy to break it down for those who aren’t as well versed in such things (maybe your mom, maybe your brother-in-law — maybe you). What do these changes mean? And what should you do if you don’t like the prospect of automatically sharing your activity with everyone you know on Facebook? Liking without logging in: The biggest change Facebook has launched will let any website you visit display a simple “like” button, for example on a story at CNN.com — although CNN has decided to use the term “recommend” instead.
