[Rumor] Facebook Cooks The Want Button

Now, Zuckerberg really made me meditate! The latest rumor about Facebook speaks about a Want button and I'm asking myself what this new button will do in the end. Logically speaking, if you like something, you want to be closer to that thing, to notice it better, to touch it and so on. From this point of view, the only ability that the Want button could have would be to help you purchase something through Facebook.

[Rumor] Facebook Cooks The Want Button

The rumor was started by a Facebook developer, Tom Waddingtonk, whok stumbled across something completely new within the latest version of the Facebook Javascript SDK, hinting that the social networking giant may be working on the so-called Want button, similar to the popular Like button, since it has blue wording on top of a light blue bubble. Waddington managed to insert it into his website and so, we are able to figure out that this new button is resembles a lot with the Like button, at least if we talk about graphics.

What’s interesting about Waddington's discovery is that the button also displays a small plus sign icon on the left of it (it's not a direct link towards Google+, Zuckerberg isn't that masochist), which could suggest additional actions with the button. As a rule, developers have had the opportunity to create their own versions of a Want button and it’s always called for authorization of a third-party app to allow actions to show up on any user’s timeline. A direct Want button would make it ridiculously easy for everyone to embrace and start using right away.

Facebook hasn’t yet made a public listing on this undercover discovery, so it’s likely Facebook wasn’t expecting to reveal the idea just yet, if at all. A button like this will probably make a lot of advertisers happy, but I bet the majority of Facebook users will get confused between liking and wanting something on Facebook.
