Facebook has a habit of copying other people’s ideas. While I think this is a good idea to increase the social networking site’s functionality and make it better and easier for practical use, why can’t they think of their own ideas.
After all, do you see Twitter implementing a chat feature into a bar at the bottom of the page or allowing tweets to be liked? No, Twitter is original, while Facebook is slowly turning into a copycat
First off there was the whole issue with Facebook launching a Lite counterpart which was more or less the same social networking grounds with the frilly bits cut off to make for a cleaner, leaner experience. Unfortunately it looked just like Twitter. Then Facebook suddenly gains the ability to tag users in status updates. And then a new layout appears along with a live news feed.
Just like Twitter.
Facebook is doing if a fourth time with their own incarnation of the Retweet button. On Twitter, Retweeting is more or less the process of copying a tweet you like and sharing it with your followers. It became an official feature a couple of months ago.
All we know about Facebook’s incarnation is that it’ll be known as ‘Share’. How it’ll work is beyond me, and everyone else as a matter of fact. It’ll probably just be a way of copying status updates that you like. This could lead to arguments…
Tell me what you think about the Share button by leaving a comment below!

Yes, it is basically Facebook copying twitter, i don't see the point. Because you can post links on the homepage anyway.
