Sharing more than photos with Facebook friends

It's easy to share a business with friends on AlikeList. Beneath each business listing on AlikeList you'll see a Share link. Once you click, you’ll be asked if you want to publish your Share to your Facebook wall. Click “Accept” and you’re done!

Within seconds, your Share — along with any message you want to add — is posted to Facebook. It's a cool way to help your friends discover new restaurants, retailers, professionals and other businesses you like.

Get a little help from friends

Let’s say you’re in need of a plumber, but when you search for one on AlikeList, no recommendations from friends come up. By easily leveraging the relationships you have on Facebook, you’ll be able to get the recommendations you need — quickly!

Here’s how you do it: Click the Ask friends tab at the top of your AlikeList homepage and you'll see that you can ask friends via email, AlikeList mail, or by asking your friends on Facebook. Just like Sharing, your question is posted to your Wall and will appear on your friends’ News Feeds so they can give you a quick answer.

The power of Asking friends on Facebook is incredible. Within an hour of asking for a recommendation, I already had two solid referrals from people I know and trust!

By connecting with your friends on Facebook, AlikeList lets you tap into the wisdom of your social network to solve life's daily problems. It's fast, it's easy and it's free. Come try it out!
