In just a week, some 50,000 Web sites have adopted Facebook’s “Like� button, along with its other new social plug-ins, the social network tells
TechCrunch. Granted, 75 of those sites were Facebook’s launch
partners -- including CNN and The New York Times -- but the numbers and the rate of adoption is still “pretty amazing,� according to the blog.
“This growth is important, because as more sites integrate these social widgets, Facebook will increasingly own social interaction across the web,� TechCrunch
writes. (TechCrunch says it added Facebook’s new “Open Graph� features the day they launched last week.) Facebook also tells the blog that its
CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicted that users would register 1 billion impressions in its first 24 hours of existence -- which actually turned out to be a conservative estimate.
