A New ‘Save’ Button From Facebook You can Save Anything — the feature allows you to save things you find on the Web — like that new pair of shoes you’re eyeing or an interesting article — and save them for viewing later in Facebook. It’s been almost four years since Facebook introduced “save for later,” a way for storing articles, videos, and other things you find in the service in a dedicated part of the app.
Today at the F8 developer conference, Facebook is introducing a Save to Facebook button for the web. Publishers can now add the button to their standard article templates, and whenever a user taps the button, it will save the article or video directly to their Facebook queue.
Save to Facebook — brings it to the entire Web. It’s like taking a little piece of Facebook with you everywhere you go, digitally speaking. Yes, it’s basically Pocket or Safari’s ‘read later’ feature, just for Facebook. Like its competition, Facebook says you’ll be able to visit your saved stuff on any device — of course via the Facebook app or mobile Web.
Save Button is launching with Overstock and Product Hunt, so look for it there today. It’s also available today for developers, so expect those working on Web development to find a use for it on their Websites in short order.
