facebook-like

I am creating a site that allow users to vote on webpages similar to digg.com.

Users login with 'facebook connect' and logged in users can submit, vote, comment, etc and these details appear in their profile ie. number of submits, votes, comments, etc.

I have also added in facebook 'likes' to the system. I would however like to be able replace the internal voting platform with facebook 'likes'.

What I would like to be able to do is identify when any of the site users vote on a facebook 'like'. Although a facebook 'like' can be made outside of my site I am only interested when a logged in user submits a 'like' so this can contribute towards their stats.

Is this possible, if so how?

Thanks Azzam
