The Infamous Like and Share Buttons
When your post an article or post relating to your brand, the viewers not only have the option to comment on it but also appreciate the article by clicking the ‘Like’ button below the article. If the viewers want to share the article to their social network, they can go ahead and click the ‘Share’ button under the article and proceed to type in a message and share it.
- By this, your brand gets around much faster than any other form of advertising due to the sheer amount of social networking power of the Facebook community

The feature also notifies the user and reminds them of the article, occasionally.
