Social media users encouraged to share

Users of social networking site Facebook will now be able to see how popular shared content is when they post it on their wall.
Facebook users have been urged to share more content on the social media site, with the popularity of each link set to appear on the screen.
Writing on the official blog, Facebook product manager Mark Kinsey commented that the share tool has been developed so that once a user posts an article or video they can see how many people look at it.
He pointed out that any website can add the share application and users themselves can contact sites and request that they enable the tool.
"The share button enables you to take content from across the web and share it with your friends on Facebook, where it can be re-shared over and over," wrote Mr Kinsey.
This week, the social networking site also launched a new feature in which friends who have passed away can have their profile memorialised.
Facebook claimed this will allow people to share memories of deceased friends with other users.
