Answer: the Facebook
Like and Share buttons, according to new numbers released by the social
network. And now these most widespread of online icons are both getting
their first ever redesign.

| Say goodbye to the thumb. The Facebook "Like" button, on millions of Web pages, is being redesigned. |
The biggest difference
you'll notice straight away: the thumb is gone from the Like button.
Instead, it will appear in the dialogue box above the button that shows
you how many Likes your post or page has.
The new button features
the Facebook "f" logo instead. It is white on blue, rather than blue on
white, as is the new share button. The Share button will replace
Facebook's Send button — deemed too confusing.
The reason for the
redesign? The new version is optimized for high-resolution screens,
according to Peter Yang, a product manager at Facebook, in the comments
section of the Facebook blog post announcing the change.
Users should start to see the change on those 7.5 million websites as it rolls out over the coming weeks.
