thanks praveen for sharing this ..now after reading this i can easily fix a button at linked in
I’m dubious that people would use the linked in one, over the facebook equivalent.
People tend to use Facebook for fun, but linkedin for work.
The whole “like” thing, I think is used more for amusing sites than business ones.
