Webmaster can add Facebook’s new “Send” button to enable visitors to email links to their friends or share it on the social network. “Send” button will now be included in totaling the number of likes for a page – Sends + Likes + Shares + Comments + Inbox messages = Total number of likes. You can grab the code from Facebook Developers Website and integrate it in your blog/website.

What’s the difference between “Like” and “Send” buttons?

Facebook wants both “Likes” and “Send” buttons to co-exist with each other, which makes it a little complicated for people to understand what these buttons do. Remember those big blue Facebook Share button? Send button is more like a cross between that and traditional email-this-to-a-friend button. Send button is for private sharing, Like button is for public sharing.

Unlike the old Share button, Send button allows you to share links with not only your Facebook friends, but you can also share it with Facebook Groups or even send the link across like an email to your friends. Think of it like Facebook’s first baby step towards killing emails to gain the complete dominance over the web.

“RSS/Atom feeds have been very popular in recent years as a mechanism for content publication. They allow readers to check for new content from publishers. Using feeds for discovery allows us to get these new pages into our index more quickly than traditional crawling methods. We may use many potential sources to access updates from feeds including Reader, notification services, or direct crawls of feeds. Going forward, we might also explore mechanisms such as PubSubHubbub to identify updated items.”

With services like Google Reader and FeedBurner under their control, it wouldn’t be that hard for Google to index content in real-time as and when they are published. We don’t know whether Google uses the feed just to discover pages or if they use the content in the feed as well.

If Google is using the content in feeds for indexing, then I guess they must come out and talk about it openly because some of us publish partial feeds, whereas other publish entire content. Those publishing partial feeds would be losing the juice!

Googlebot needs to access your feeds inorder to get your fresh content indexed, so if you are blocking your feeds using Robots.txt, it may be wise to modify and grant access to Googlebot. To know more about Robots.txt, please refer Google Webmaster Central.
