Sharing with your friends on Facebook
Sharing a favorite business Facebook is easy. Beneath each business listing you’ll see the Share link. One click and you’re asked if you want to publish your Share to your Facebook wall. From there, it depends on your Facebook settings to determine how widely your Share is seen.
Within seconds, your Share is posted to Facebook. It’s a cool way to help your friends discover new restaurants, retailers, professionals and other businesses you like.

You can click the Ask friends tab at the top of the AlikeList page and you’ll see that you can ask friends by email, by messages on AlikeList or by asking your friends on Facebook. Just like Sharing, your question is posted to your Wall and sent to those that can see your posts in Facebook’s News Feed.
