After implementing the Open Graph protocol and like button on my website, it says that there is one more fan besides me, but the admin page shows only myself as the fan.
OG likes will also increase due to shares. More details here under "What makes up the number shown on my Like button?"

how can i extract name list && phone numbers of the users liking certain page ?
I have tried using software called facepager but i couldn't extract names .
note:I'm not the owner of the page
You'd most likely have to write code yourself to do something like this. However,
Almost no-one publicly shares their phone number.
Facebook try to prevent this kind of data collection.
Even when facebook list's "likers" of a page, it'll wait till you scroll down to load more. You'd have to play with your browsers debug tools and look into where it get's that data from
https://www.facebook.com/search/<group id here>/likers
In the end you'll probably not get much better than just searching for the page and clicking each person's profile because the site is designed to not let what you're trying to do happen...
I have a problem that's been bugging me for a while now. I have a page with a Facebook Like button on it. When the visitor clicks on it, everything is working as it should. The user first logs in her Facebook account, and the right information is showing in the little iFrame that pops up. It has correct headline, url, image, and the possibility to add some text to the post.
But once posted on Facebook, the wall post doesn't show the description, instead it shows four rows with the text n/a. How come?
Some additional information:
I have set the followwing fields in the head section of the html, and
the Facebook debugger tool scrapes the correct information: og:title,
og:description, og:image, og:url, og:locale, og:type
Also, it always works for me and some others when liking it, but not
when person X or Y tries to share it, so it's kind of sporadic...
I use the Facebook js sdk.
In the Facebook debugger tool I get this warning: fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing. These tags are necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through rate. But I have read somewhere that this shouldn't be necessary in my case.
The description sometimes contains characters like Å, Ä and Ö.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to get the list of all the pages that a user "likes", both Facebook pages and external pages.
I know that the facebook pages (such as http://www.facebook.com/DealExtremeFans) I can obtain them with the "me/likes" value from the Graph.
But for a page such as (http://mashable.com/2012/01/20/advertisers-this-is-what-an-nfl-fan-looks-like-infographic/) that has a like button (under the title) I don't see how to get those likes.
Is this possible? If not, are you planning on adding support for this any time soon?
Thanks
EDIT:
According to the response below, even though they are added via the "like" button they are really "Shares".
Now my question is, how do I get those shares? what's the graph for them? I tried "me/shares" but doesn't exist.
Is there a way?
Yes it is possible, but it looks like that URL only has shares:
Click here.
And here is a link to a tutorial for getting the data via jQuery.
My questions are about this (pasted from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/)...
"What makes up the number shown on my Like button?
"The number shown is the sum of:
-The number of likes of this URL
-The number of shares of this URL (this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook)
-The number of likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL
-The number of inbox messages containing this URL as an attachment."
With that in mind, let's say I create a feature to let users submit ideas to improve my site, and I want to let users vote on the ideas by clicking Like buttons next to each idea.
(For simplicity, let's also say it's okay if they click more than one Like button.)
When a user clicks a Like button, a story about it shows up in his/her friends' newsfeeds, which brings up my 2 questions:
1.) If one of those friends comments on it with "That idea sucks," will that comment still add to the Likes count?
I know the content of the comment doesn't matter, but that user is clearly expressing his dislike of the idea, not liking it.
2.) Can the same user generate 2 or more Likes?
From the above, it seems like he/she could click the Like button, and then send a FB message with the URL as an attachment, which would generate another Like.
Thanks for the clarity!
P.S. This other thread was useful, but there were no conclusive answers:
Voting for items via facebook like?
What makes up the number shown on my Like button? The number shown is
the sum of:
•The number of likes of this URL
•The number of shares of this URL
(this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook)
•The number of
likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL
•The number
of inbox messages containing this URL as an attachment.
Ok, now if user A likes something, and then user A shares the URL, will I have 2 likes displayed near the button? Or each user can only be counted once
Thanks, I try to understand this because I need to write an app around it
Facebook have a pretty good guide and API for this if you do want to make use of it.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
As far as the process goes, this explanation is better than anything I could come up with. But the long and short of it is, the more people who click on it independently, the more it will increment (See below). Therefore in your example user A likes it (+1), he shares it but only when his friend clicks like when it increment again.
