    Hi All,

    Thanks for your time to read this post. i have a tricky hosting...

    i always use addthis to add facebook,twitter share . but now my requirement is in the member site, i wanted to know is that particular member shared the page to facebook/twitter? how to track that?

    i am trying to build a custom app like getting member and page details and redirect to corresponding site after storing in the db, but how do we know is that redirected page completed shared? or it got closed abruptly?

    custom_redirect.php?user_id=1&target=facebook&page=pagename

    your suggestions are really helpful , thanks again to you all.

    I don't believe there is a way to track the account of the person who LIKED or SHARED a link off facebook.

    I think, writing a Facebook app that will query the user's LIKES/SHARES to find out whether they had liked or shared it, might work.

    This might be something completely different, but have you seen the websites and scripts that let you build up likes for your own pages by liking others? They track you liking that specific page on Facebook to give you reward points that are then spent when others like your own page. I think 'you like hits' is one. I don't use them and not endorsing it, was just reminded of their functionality by the OP's question.

    So verifying someone liked something on Facebook IS possible, but I'm not sure if I'm talking in the same ballpark as you guys or if that helps or not.
