    In the final stages of website development. Just installed Add This for the headers.

    I'm looking for something that I can add to individual products so that people can like the products themselves & hopefully share them.

    Anyone know of anything ?

    place this on each of the products pages? http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

    place the url to each product into the code this produces.
    <div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="http://www.myawesomesite.com/products/unicorn-meat" send="true" width="450" show_faces="true" action="like" font=""></fb:like>

    if the like button has to be in your header, you'll need to figure out in your header the following.

    1. are you on a product page (usually have a product id at this stage).
    2. if so, build url for product and show the like button code like above..
    3. otherwise show like button for site itself.

    Hi,

    I just came across this "sharer" feature...
    http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://www.google.com

    You can use something like the above and just provide the permalink to your product as the value for "u".

    When a use clicks the link it will bring them to a page where there can write a message and then your link will be appended to the wall post along with a thumbnail.

    It really is that simple.. surprising really!
