Facebook has been rolling out some tiny new features for past few days. First, “like” comments, “unlike” comments, then thumbnails in “notifications” and now there’s something I would call “Re-Share”.

What is it?

I would call it something similar to “Re-Tweet”. But not exactly like that, when you re-tweet someone’s tweet, you are mentioned. Similarly this new feature tracks the comments and shares of a link and mentions them below all the shares.

I know, I will not able to explain it very well technically. But looking at the image below will help you understand what I am trying to say.

In the image you can see two thumbnails; these are the profile/page who shared the same link with a text update. The remaining people who shared the same link are simply a part of “5 other friends”. Their profile image is not displayed below the update as they didn’t have any update associated with the link. They simply shared the link.

This new feature will help measure the popularity of a link. Also, you can get into a discussion without going elsewhere. You can view all the comments, likes and add to it as well by clicking the “comment” / “like” links.

Isn’t that interesting?
