50,000 websites have already installed new plugins from Facebook

Without a doubt, new plugins from Facebook, which include a “Like” button and a number of other widgets, are being introduced with impressive speed. Facebook just gave an idea about how quickly you can use these plugins: just a week after the f8 conference, 50,000 sites already use the Like button and other plugins.

75 of these sites are partners of Facebook, including the sites of CNN and the New York Times, each integrating plug-ins in their own way, although Facebook itself offered a very straightforward installation — all just copy-paste a few lines of code. This is especially important since the more sites integrate Facebook tools, the more it increases its social integration across the Web.

It was also confirmed by Mark Zuckerberg's prediction that Facebook users will make a million clicks on the “Like” button in the first 24 hours of use. Update: The official representative explained that Mark Zuckerberg spoke about the number of impressions from the button, and not about the number of people who clicked on it. Not bad for a start.

In addition to the “Like” button, Facebook’s other social plugins include the ability to show friends ’actions, recommended articles, and so on.
