The Facebook Subscribe Button is Live

The Facebook Subscribe Button

The Facebook Subscribe button is live and ready to use.  This button now allows visitors to any website that installed the plugin to receive updates into the news feeds of their Facebook page.   The Facebook Subscribe button is already live on Absolute Radio, AllThingsD, ANSA.it, The Daily Beast / Newsweek, Forbes.com, GQ Italia, The Huffington Post, Mashable, Ministry of Sound, msnbc.com, NME.Com, TechCrunch, TIME.com, TODAY.com, and washingtonpost.com

Facebook Subscribe Button |How It Works

The Facebook subscribe button works just like the ‘Like’ plugin does on websites; once it is clicked, the user will begin seeing the public posts of the person they have subscribed to in his or her News Feed. The subscribe action is also shared — allowing others to subscribe directly via the News Feed stories, and further increasing viral distribution.

Facebook Subscribe Button |How to Add the Subscribe Button

Here’s how you add the Facebook Subscribe Button to your website:

1)  visit https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/subscribe/ to create your own customized code.

2)  The XFBML version uses the JavaScript SDK, and provides more versatility, such as dynamic resizing, and the ability to act on subscribe events in real time:

<fb:subscribe href=”https://www.facebook.com/zuck” width=”450″></fb:subscribe>

3)  For HTML5-compliant markup:

<div

  data-href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck" data-width="450">
</div>

4)  And the iframe version:

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/subscribe.php?
  href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fzuck
  &amp;width=450&amp;appId=APP_ID" scrolling="no"
  frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px;"
  allowTransparency="true">
</iframe>
