Palo Alto, Calif. - Facebook has introduced a new feature, the "fan box," that lets organizations and celebrities embed widgets on their websites, which in turn enable website visitors to "become a fan" of that person's or organization's page on Facebook. The widget will also display the most recent status updates and other postings on Facebook.
