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.

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.
