Likebutton.me Reveals What Your Friends 'Like' Across the Web

About a month ago, we told you how Facebook would let users 'like' everything on the Web. Now, a new website called Likebutton.me compiles and streams on a single page everything your friends 'like,' whether it be a breaking news story or a tech review. It's sort of like Digg, but for Facebook activity. Using a drop-down box, you can filter the activities you see via categories like tech, news, entertainment and more. You can also browse by specific sites like CNN, YouTube or Huffington Post, and add other sites by entering their addresses in a box at the bottom of the page. The feeds stream your friends' activities within those categories or sites, and also list the most popular content from them.

Facebook's new developer toolset lets anybody easily create similar Activity Feed modules for their own websites and Facebook pages. Set the site you want to monitor sharing activity for, adjust the size of the module and click 'get code' to get an embeddable Activity Feed that you can share on the Web. Similar to Likebutton.me, itstrending.com also reveals the most shared stories, news, videos, pictures and more on Facebook. These tools have only been available since last week's F8 conference, so expect to see even more mashups and Facebook data manipulation in the coming monhts. [From: Likebutton and Mashable]
