There’s some interesting news coming out of the Facebook Developers blog. New features are being added to the Facebook “Like” button. According to the blog we’ll get some more value from the Like button: We’ve seen the commenting features enabled over the past couple of weeks. We can only assume, then, that Facebook has been trying out the addition on select sites or to select users.

It came across my desk today that Discovery Channel was creating a Facebook game, and I thought I’d use the opportunity to look at how some big brands are using Facebook Games to promote products. Some of these work, some of them don’t, but the key factor here is that they are all leveraging social gaming to reach out to their userbases, and in my opinion that type of interactive marketing that incentivizes the user with fun is a step in the right direction. Take a look at the list after the jump.
