The plugin known as a like box lets websites accumulate fans for Facebook pages in a manner that’s more efficient than a like button.

When a user clicks on webpage’s like box, the Facebook page corresponding to the website joins the user’s list of liked things and a story to that effect publishes to friends’ news feeds.
