Facebook Becomes Erstwhile Digg Destroyer With Live Share Counter

Facebook Becomes Erstwhile Digg Destroyer With Live Share Counter: "Facebook took a page from social sharing site Digg by launching a live counter for its content Share button to display how many times a piece of content has been shared on the Web. Content on Digg became glorified based on how much it was dug. But the sheer size of the Facebook network has made the social site the new go-to place for sharing content. Facebook also opened up the analytics associated with sharing habits on Facebook to further help Web site publishers measure the value of the Share content."
