Facebook wants to remove Share button

Sharing and liking is one of the things everybody does in Facebook, but it seems that the giant of all social networking sites is planning to remove the sharing system.

In the future, instead of sharing something we would have to "Like it" then. Normally, if we like certain page in the Facebook we could just have a line that says we like the page. Meanwhile in the share button we could get the link of the story, thumbnail and other info.

The plan to remove the share button is until now no specific date when will it happen. On the other part of it, all Facebook user could experience an improved Like feature if you don't like the status updates and shares of from your friends.

Up to now no reasons were identified why Facebook wants to remove the Share button. Everyone still hoping for further information about it.
