Bringing Like to Mobile
- PanMan 14y agoInteresting that for this mobile like you need to authenticate, while for the web-like you only need to embed an iframe, and Facebook handles authentication.
- maxer 14y agomy understanding is.. the current like button is used by the the user through the iframe, while this is an action completed on behalf of the user through the graph api?
- maxko87 14y agoIt might also have to do with the concern that on mobile, the like button could be somewhat disguised visually and might it might not be immediately obvious that liking on the app will mean liking on Facebook.
- LocalPCGuy 14y agoThe big problem on mobile is that the Like button is extremely tiny, and not all platforms can utilize the iFrame version of the Like plugin. By making it available through an Open Graph action, developers can embed it into apps, on web pages with a better target than the standard Like button, and on web pages as well in a way that fits the design scheme of the website. It seems like it allows Liking of any page with Open Graph tagging, only question I have is if you can use it to Like a Facebook page still. I plan to test that out shortly, probably tomorrow.
- timdorr 14y agoIs it just me, or does the word "like" make it really hard to grok the blog post and documentation? I think it's the fact that they don't capitalize the word. That one change would make it so I don't have to force my brain into not reading it as though a ditzy girl wrote the post.
