You may have \'91liked\'92 it, but do you \'91want\'92 it? Facebook announced a solution
to this first world problem, the new \'91want\'92 button has been added to some participating
store\'92s websites. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.necn.com/"}}{\fldrslt \cf3 \ul
\ulc3 NECN explains\ulnone }}what you would use the button for.\
\b \'93Users will be able to visit a retailer's website. They'll then hit the "want" button
- to add items to your wishlist. \'85I like this idea. ... You can check mine to see what
I want for Christmas. ... I was thinking the same for you!\'94
\b0 \ \
Among the companies that have the want button on their Facebook pages are {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

"http://www.facebook.com/neimanmarcus?fref=ts"}}{\fldrslt \cf3 \ul \ulc3 Neiman Marcus\ulnone }}and
{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.facebook.com/victoriassecret?fref=ts"}}{\fldrslt \cf3 \ul \ulc3 Victoria\'92s Secret.}}\
\ Seems an awful lot like Pinterest, doesn\'92t
it?\'a0 {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/"}}{\fldrslt \cf3 \ul \ulc3 KDKA says}} Facebook could
soon feature one big difference.\ \
\b \'93Analysts say the company could be laying groundwork for eventual push into e commerce.\'93
\b0 \ \
And a Facebook spokesperson {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/10/09/facebook-adds-want-button/#ixzz28qYydn8e"}}{\fldrslt
\cf3 \ul \ulc3 told Fox News...}}\ \
\b \'93We've seen that businesses often use Pages to share information about their products
through photo albums. Today, we are beginning a small test in which a few select businesses
will be able to share information about their products...\'94
\b0 \ \
The button is part of the new \'91collections\'92 feature on Facebook.\'a0 {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK
"http://www.complex.com/tech/2012/10/facebook-appeases-businesses-with-want-button"}}{\fldrslt \cf3 \ul \ulc3 Complexexplains...}}\
\b \'93Once the items are "wanted," they'll wind up in Facebook's Collection feature where
they will be able to buy the product.\'94 \b0 \
\ Once the item is in the wishlist, users will
be able to buy them right off of Facebook, but, the social network has yet to say if
they\'92re going to take a portion of the profit for sales made on their site.\
