Facebook's Social Widgetization Of The Web, In A Sweet, Sweet Infographic
With the “Send” button, Facebook seems to be continuing its quest to eventually replace email with some sort of Facebook-related social service. The button is already available on over 50 sites including The Washington Post, last.fm, 1-800 Flowers, Gilt Groupe, The Huffington Post and Orbitz. With more to come, I’m sure.
So, to commemorate Facebook becoming the Big Brother of social widgets, JESS3, a creative interactive agency specializing in UX and data visualization, has created a nifty retrospective — timeline of Facebook’s social widgets, beginning with the launch of Facebook Connect back in 2008.
Warning: Infographics ahead. Oh, and by the way, you should totally “Like” us on Facebook. Sorry, I had to.
