Forget the 'like' button… Facebook is now testing a 'want' button for products that will pave the way for website to enter e-commerce market



The Facebook 'like' has now become the easiest way to show our approval of what our friend ate for lunch or the fluffiness of their pet cat.
Now, a new 'want' button will allow users to announce their desire for a new wardrobe or expensive lingerie at the click of a button.
The social networking firm is testing a feature that lets people create 'wishlists' of home furnishings, clothing and other items, as part of what could become a move into e-commerce.

Buy it now! Users will be shown images of products and encouraged to flag them with a 'want' or 'collect' button (file picture)




It is currently working with seven retailers, including Pottery Barn and Victoria's Secret, and will encourage users to buy products through the site or send them directly to the online stores.
