Interesting that for this mobile like you need to authenticate, while for the web-like you only need to embed an iframe, and Facebook handles authentication.

my understanding is.. the current like button is used by the the user through the iframe, while this is an action completed on behalf of the user through the graph api?

It might also have to do with the concern that on mobile, the like button could be somewhat disguised visually and might it might not be immediately obvious that liking on the app will mean liking on Facebook.

Is it just me, or does the word "like" make it really hard to grok the blog post and documentation? I think it's the fact that they don't capitalize the word. That one change would make it so I don't have to force my brain into not reading it as though a ditzy girl wrote the post.
