As a webmaster I always loved embed code for posts or tweets on Twitter as it gives me the opportunity to share important posts or tweets with my users and fans on Facebook pages or etc.. Embed codes is used to get YouTube videos and insert it anywhere you like, on Twitter and now on Facebook…
Facebook today said it has started rolling out Embedded Posts. Only top publications like CNN, Huffington Post, Bleacher Report, PEOPLE and Mashable can embed Facebook content for now, with broader availability “coming soonâ€.
But remember, you can only embed public posts other post is not embeddable.
The feature works just as you’d expect: simply hover over the audience selector on a public post (denoted by a globe icon) from Pages or Facebook users and choose ‘Embed Post’ in the drop-down menu.
As you can see from the picture above, you will see a dialog appears with a lot of features like “Follow Post”, “Hide” and finally there is “Embed Post” By tapping on this feature you will be able to embed this public post and share it with anywhere or on your blog…
Signed-in users can easily like and share the post directly from the embed or click on a hashtag to discover similar content on Facebook, per the screenie below. I love that Embedded Posts show the number of likes, shares and comments – these give me an at-a-glance overview of their viralability.
Those who run their own blog or a website can hop over to Facebook’s Developer Blog and check out the Embedded Posts documentation to learn more.
So what do you think about this upcoming new feature from Facebook ? Would you love to see it on your iPhone and browser ?
