With the "Like" button littered all over the web, Facebook can still connect you to all the websites that have the Like button installed! That's why I prefer AdBlock/Privacy Filters/even blocking Facebook domains by adding entries to /etc/hosts file to prevent even even a connection to their (known) IPs.

I use ghostery to protect myself from this kind of tracking : http://www.ghostery.com/

I use lots of FB blocking in my regular account for that reason!
