    What's the best way to make a link go viral on Facebook?

    Let's say I share a link to a pic with all my 100 friends. 4 of my friends (friend A,friend B, C and D) click "like".

    Does this mean all the friends of these 4 friends (who aren't my friends) will see "friend B like's nodgienodge's link" etc then if they click "like" their friends will see it too (and get a link to nodgienodge's fb profile) even though they're a friend of a friend of a friend?

    Kinda - but it only means it is possible for them to see it - not will!! It will most likely be drowned out in the news feed by more "important" status updates and photos from the 3rd parties actual friends.

    "more important" in the Facebook world usually means less important in the real world :D
