Facebook Share in emails

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to use the Facebook share api within an email?

What i'm trying to achieve is for an email to be sent to someone with a link to a video (or video attached depending on the size).

Within the email would be a Facebook share button that would allow them to upload the video to FB (from a web url).

Thanks

PVS

The closest you'll get is to link the user to Facebook's Sharer.

For example, if you wanted your users to share a link to www.google.com, you'd do this

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.google.com"&gt;Share Google!</a>

Obviously what you'll really do is use a URL to your domain that holds the content being shared. For information about specifying the proper meta data (including how to specify a video) see the documentation for Facebook Share.
