Is Facebook In Favor Of A 'Want' Button?

According to the latest reports, Facebook might be interested in adding products to a virtual wish list in the form of a 'want' button.

The latest news from 'Facebook' is about a typical 'want' button that provides members to observe what other members in their network might likely be expected to purchase. Facebook already has buttons like Subscribe and Like for knowing friend activity across the website also.

This code was released earlier on Wednesday and is included with the JavaScript coding for a list of all the social plugins. The developers have been thinking of new tags like degrees, page events, social context and privacy selector. The Facebook button for the users might include work for only Open Graph Projects with the tag 'products'.

The button for Facebook called the 'want' is expected to be functional but still has not been included. The application can easily incorporate a number of additional functions for news and information about their members and member interests as well. There could be another view of the application benefitting the greater integration with Facebook without any new requirement for enabling or building own designed application or platform.

New features are being tested by Facebook but it is not necessary that all tested apps and add-ons might get an inclusion on Facebook. A great benefit from using this application is to have an increased social exposure for the eCommerce websites. The functionality of the application is simple and easy where the Facebook page would then include the 'want' button - not requiring authorizing the application and published story for 'user wants product' for the news feed section.

Many of the application users are expecting that Facebook includes prices and also ISBN numbers for the products featured on the sites to make them even more powerful. For other sites that are retail ended there could be many gains from Facebook integration at the most. The expectations for the new 'want' button released from Facebook is still awaited.
