Question

Im using this URL to share my website without having to add any facebook code:

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

And I was wondering, is there any way to populate the description field, like another URL parameter?

EDIT: Seems like sharer its deprecated in favour of the like button, but i dont want to use the ugly look of the like button. is there a way to replace it? Im trying to achieve an effect like this in twitter:

<a href='http://twitter.com/home?status=My_message' <img src='mytwittericon.png' /></a>"

Answer 1

The facebook “sharer” has been deprecated and is no longer supported as it states here:

The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and
will no longer be supported. Please use the Like button whenever
possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps.

And here:

What happened to the old Share button?

We deprecated the Share Button when we launched the Like button,
because the Like button improves clickthrough rates by allowing users
to connect with one click, and by allowing them to see which of their
friends have already connected.
