100,000 Websites Add Facebook's Social Plugins

In only a few weeks, the number of websites that have implemented Facebook’s social plugins, including the almost ubiquitous like button, has doubled from 50,000 to 100,000. That news came in a blog post earlier today from Facebook employee, Justin Osofsky. It’s an impressive statistic and it’s one that will only continue to grow. Enabling these “social plugins” (or widgets) was a great tool for Facebook to instantly spread the new Open Graph.

While there’s a good chance that many of the sites implementing the service are media companies in addition to personal blogs, there’s no doubt that internet companies around the globe are working on ways to implement Facebook’s new tools.
