I agree with you, marketers should not underestimate the power of the Facebook Like Button. Your prediction are right on the money too. We need to watch out for Google's next move in the next years. Partnering with Facebook would be a powerful and smart move in my opinion.

Your discussion with Link Popularity deserves a kudos too!

I am loving the fact that Google finally has some real competition … you know that they are feeling it too, they have been trying so hard for the last couple of years to break into social media but they just keep failing at it over and over again.

P.S. Have you seen the new “Like Spam” sites popping up yet? Example: likeportal dot com/index.php?id=1697

I use simple facebook connect. It gives you options to use all of facebook's open graph integrations.

I totally agree with you on the importance of the like button. When I first heard about it I jumped on getting it on my blog. I ended up finding a great wordpress plugin called simple facebook connect that integrates all the open graph facebook widgets with a wordpress blog.

I also have a suggestion, change the position of your like button to below the post. Seeing it in the sidebar seemed wrong.

fake-edit: I see what you did there! I was expecting a 'like this post' not a 'like this page' button. You should totally have a like this post button as well.

You raise a very valid point. It's one of those things that we'll have to wait and see… In contrast to FB beating out Google, I think it's important to bare in mind- FB is having a tendency to look a little spammy to people. For example, if you pull up your FB home page, you'll see dozens of event invitations, marketplace stuff, etc. I've heard many people share their “dislike” about this.

This seems to be where Google has the slight edge. The way their site is designed, you don't get overwhelmed with all the social stuff that you do on FB.
