Looking to integrate Facebook into your WordPress site?  Well, now no third party plugins are required as Facebook officially launched the “Facebook for WordPress plugin.”  Wordpress is the most popular publishing platform on the web to date, powering 16.6% of the web.

The plugin allows publishers to socially publish all articles when pushing content live.  In addition, users can mention other friends or pages that may have been mentioned/interviewed in an article:

One of the very slick features of the plugin is the ability to have an author’s post show directly to their timeline with a different post showing on the Page’s timeline:

Facebook Publishing

The final result pushes the unique content out to both the profile page and brand page at the same time:

Seperate Posts

The plugin will also work on mobile devices and will “support internationalization.”  For more information on how to install the plugin, see the official Facebook documentation.
