I'm wondering if there is a way to insert a "custom" like button with just a link like
Like us on FB
for sites like FaceBook , StumbleUpon, diggit etc. Even though if my website does not have a page in those sites?

I just want to know if its possible to add a custom button like 'Like'/'Share'/'Comment' in Facebook's newsfeed.
I wanna add an action like 'Mark as unread' to Posts appearing on the user's newsfeed, so that the user can check them out later.
I found this browser add-on : http://socialfixer.com
So this enables certain functions on a user's newsfeed. I was wondering if this could be achieved through a Facebook app, without the help of a browser add-on.
Thanks :)
I created a site and added a Facebook like button to it. Weeks later I realised that I would also like to have a Facebook page for the site. Good enough, except that when I create the FB page, it has its own Like count and its at 0. Is there anyway to integrate the existing like button with the new page?
URL likes and Facebook PAGE like are different things. So, I don't think its possible to migrate your URL likes to your FB Page.
So I would think this would be an easy thing to do, but I'm completely lost right now. I have a website. It has a facebook page. That fb page has a bunch of likes and all is good. We also have the "like" button on various webpages throughout our website. If I go to those webpages individually, I can see how many people have hit the like button, but I have not found any where to see some reports. Ideally, I'd like to see:
The most popular (liked) webpages on our website
The total number of interactions (likes) across my domain
The same basic demographic information that is available for our fb page
We have had the like button integrated for a few months now, but I'm not sure if it should be linked to our fb page or if I have to create a custom app to associate it with. Right now we have it assigned to our fb page.
Is this possible?
It's possible, but requires a few steps:
Claim insights for your domain: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/insights/#claiming_a_domain
Grab your domain ID: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/domain/
Access insights using the graph API
I want to have a likebox plugin for my own URL (not a Facebook Page URL)
E.g.
http://www.example.com/product1.html
http://www.example.com/product2.html
I already have opengraph meta data, and user are able to like it, but I want to have likebox kind of plugin showing user faces...is it possible?
Facebook says the Facebook Like Box is only for Facebook pages. You could generate a like button with a show faces option for your website though.
I´m building a website to post my own videos using JW Player running my own ads as overlay.

Instead of register my own users, having my own forum etc etc I want to use facebook to interact with my visitors:
Individual discussions/comments on individual films instead of my own comment/forum-function
facebook-like-button for individual films (so induvidual like buttons for individual films)
Share induvidual films
Grab location from every unique visitor
Where do I start?
Do I need to create an application or should I use a Facebook "page"?
Maybe both?
I see that i can add an application to a "page" but what does that really do? How do I use that?
What would be the best way for me to do this?
I already have a Facebook "page" for my website and I just created an App as well.
Which one should I use?
Do I need both?
What is the difference?
I know that I can create a like button for a website address on http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
But can I monitor that like button from example an application if I can connect them somehow?
Is that something I want to do?
My Facebook-page already have a user-base where my Facebook-application does not.. is my best option to delete my "page" and start all over with my "application"?
App is their encompassing term for any application that uses their API, this could be on Facebook or on your own personal website - these require an API key to make authenticated calls for users. Pages are FB's own in-Facebook content that users have created, like page for a business located at facebook.com/mybusiness. It sounds like you already have a website and want to add Facebook functionality to it, so you don't want to make another Page. You may not even need to create an App. Things like comment boxes and like buttons can be dropped in as stand-alone copy-and-paste widgets. You can track the like button by enabling FB insights for your website.
So like you noticed you can add a like button to your page using the social plugin from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ - similar to the like button you can add comment boxes with the plugin at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/
You can track the results from these plugins by adding your website to Facebook's analytics (Insights) at http://www.facebook.com/insights/
Most of these things are powered by the opengraph metadata in the headers of your website's pages. You can read up on what tags FB uses here http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Everything at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ can be used without an application or page ID, and is very good about being responsive to the page they are hosted on: you can add a like button to your video view template without a defined URL in the like button's parameters, and it will automatically direct any likes to the url of the currently viewed video.
You could also direct a like button to point to your existing FB Page, in which case any likes collected from it would be added to the Page's total. Most companies that have a home-page like button do this, so their likes all accumulate to a single total for their business.
Hope that helps.
