So if I send a PM to a friend on FB with a link and note that says, this is the lamest site ever the "Like" counter on the site goes up by one? That makes perfect sense.


Actually it goes up by two, but Facebook claims that's the bug, not the fact that it goes up at all.


You didn't like the site, but you obviously felt it was worth sharing. Perhaps "people who engaged with this content" would be better than "like", but it'd make for a much bigger button.


Even better, I wonder what happens if I send a private message to all my "friends" with a link to my blog in it.

Did the like counter on my blog just go up by 500?
