Tracking like button click events

October 14th, 2011 by Abby Sims | Comments Off | Filed in news

Sometimes, you want to track certain Facebook interactions within your internal analytic tools. Below is code to detect like, unlike, and send message clicks for the Facebook Like Button social plugin. This logs to Google Analytics. Just add the following event subscriptions between some Javascript tags after the Facebook JS SDK has been loaded. “response” is the URL that was liked or sent. Adjust what happens for each event, as desired.

        FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function (response) {
            _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Something', 'Like', response]);
        });
        FB.Event.subscribe('edge.remove', function (response) {
            _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Something', 'Un-Like', response]);
        });
        FB.Event.subscribe('message.send', function (response) {
            _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Something', 'Comment', response]);
        });

Tyler the Christmas Minister

My seven-year old son, Tyler, was at the office with me last Friday after his class Christmas party. He was running around sharing the Legend of the Candy Cane, reciting Luke chapter 2 verses 8 through 14, and generally winning over the hearts of all. One of the ladies I work with was kind enough to capture his Luke recital on an audio recorder.

Enjoy and happy holidays!

Now Accepting Clients

A while back, I decided I was ready to once again make the leap to accept contracts for web design work. I’ve decided to turn this into an at least part-time business.

As such, I’m happy to announce that I’ve created a new www.idestini.com to advertise my efforts. If you know a small business or organization looking for a new site or some updates to their existing site (especially from the Little Rock area), please forward them on over.
