To help usher in Facebook’s coming seventh birthday, the company is learning how to use more verbs.

On Wednesday, at a press event in San Francisco, Facebook announced that it had partnered with 60 new services around the Web to help show “actions” people were engaging in online. This will allow people to say on Facebook that they are buying, listening to, reading or watching something.

The new features were originally announced last year at Facebook’s annual F8 developer conference. At the time, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder, said the actions were intended to create a “real-time serendipity” that would allow people to engage with their friends’ activities beyond just “liking” something.

Mr. Zuckerberg said at the time that this would be an expansion of the Facebook Open Graph, which is the company’s developer platform.

The new expansion introduces a number of new partners including Ticketmaster, Digg, Ticketfly, Pinterest, Rotten Tomatoes, Kobo, and Gogobot.

People who use Digg, the social news Web site, will be able to link their Digg account with Facebook, showing actions within their Facebook timeline. If a user submits a news article to Digg or comments on a Digg story, these actions will show up on their Facebook news feed.

Ticketfly, a company that allows people to buy concert tickets online, is also being integrated with Facebook. In a statement issued by Ticketfly, the company said the new actions feature would help spread the word about coming events. “For promoters, this means not only will fans sell your tickets for you, but they will increase awareness for your brand, venue and booked artists online,” the company said.

Fab.com, a social shopping app, has also partnered with Facebook to enable users to post products they have bought from Fab within the Timeline.

Facebook has been experimenting with these features over the last few months, allowing people to share the songs they are listening to on Spotify, the social music service, and news articles they are reading on The Washington Post.
