Facebook has its “Like” button, and Twitter has followed suit (pun intended) with their own version, a “Follow” button which can be integrated in third-party websites down the road. This button allows users to instantly arrange to follow particular Twitter accounts without having to visit the micro-blogging service.
There are already over 50 third party sites that offer the button, where among them are heavyweights such as AOL.com, the Internet Movie Database, The Huffington Post, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Wired, WordPress.com, and teen crooner Justin Bieber’s official website.
According to Twitter, “When you follow interesting accounts on Twitter, it’s easy to stay connected with what’s most meaningful to you. Today we’re excited to launch the Follow Button, a new way to discover and instantly follow Twitter accounts directly from the websites you visit everyday.”
Do you think we will see a trend that uses the Follow button in wedding car number plates or other fashionable items?
