Question

I have an email blast that includes some facebook and twitter share links. For twitter, I’m using something like:

http://twitter.com/?status=Check%20out%20mysite.com

As far as I know, this is the recommended way to link to twitter status updates. Facebook used to have the share.php feature which as far as I know, still works, but has been deprecated in favor of the “like” button, which can’t really be embedded in an email (lack of javascript / iframe support in most clients).

What is the new recommended way to link to a facebook “share” page? Is there no alternative? If I must continue to use share.php, is there anywhere I can find documentation on the parameters for it since Facebook refuses to preserve old documentation for legacy support?

Answer 1

Here you go :

Put a share button in your email with this link :

http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://www.google.com

This is the output you will get
