And what if we don't want to partake in having Facebook follow us around on the web?

@1: Then you can choose not to do Dan a favor, I guess.

If I do, it's going to say "[my name here] likes SPREADING SANTORUM," isn't it? Are you trying to kill my (anal) sex life?

Done and done and LOL @ Buttercup.

Nice job. Just read about your/that site yesterday. Still no $5 million?

@3 - I'd worried about that too for a second, but it doesn't appear to have showed up on my Facebook.

How sweet, but I just ran the Facebook-delete gauntlet. I'll have to do you another favor sometime.

@3, 7. It shows up on your profile first, and it says "...Likes spreadingsantorum.com"

@8, where do you work, a church? also, how is slog more safe than that?

Um...when you choose "Like", it will report via your feed to everyone you know of FaceBook (friends/coworkers/family)

That "_____ likes spreadingsntorum and 3 other pages"

that's a big NO THANKS.

It actually says "...likes Santorum on spreadingsantorum.com, both of which items are links to the website. Google rankings heavily depend on inbound links, which spreadingsantorum currently enjoys a 2-to-1 lead over the campaign site, but that's about to change when he kicks his Presidential campaign into gear. This is a preemptive strike.

I tried, but I am not personally Facebook enabled. Anyway, do I actually like Santorum? Seems sort of gross really.

done, and deleted it from the news feed. it will be visible now only to anyone who's going to take the time to dig through all my "likes" and click them to see what they are.

@ 17... and anyone digging THAT deep into your bizness deserves a little santorum for his effort.

oh look.

our contribution to the nation's political discourse is to call a presidential candidate 'poo'.

(that, and advertise just how disgustingly unhygienic our perverted deviant behavior is....)

did we mention the naked butt we saw in the museum this morning?

it was awesome.

hee. hee hee.

Done! To those worrying about it appearing on your newsfeed really what's the big deal? It'll just give anyone that sees it a chance to go click like and help Dan out too! :)

So if you remove it from the newsfeed, it won't give the page a Google boost? Eh. I guess I can take the risk of getting some awkward questions. It's for a good cause.

Dan, I'll do you a favor if you do me a favor and not ask me to sign up for Facebook just for whatever this is.

I think that l'il pic of Rick "enjoying" the extra-firm, extra-tall chocolate frostee that Dan put up recently also deserves a wider audience.

Six years?!? It's been six years since you posted an update on SpreadingSantorum.Com??! Get busy, son!

No wonder no one is linking to it. Stale santorum...

In return for liking your page, it would be nice if you updated it Dan.

I love when Slog comment threads turn into a Facebook help FAQ. Done, Dan. Happily. I hope my liberal, Olberman-loving grandmother sees it and likes it too. Any luck finding someone to take over the website yet?

Um, pass.

I'd love to help you out, but I'm trying to de-Facebook my life.

I don't know. It didn't seem to work for me with Google Chrome for Mac either. :(

The "like" didn't work on the page Dan directs us, too, so I clicked through to the site proper and liked that instead. Now my feed will say that I like santorum, which is just fine by me.

Kristinbell, try this (im on chrome on a mac also). go to the website itself (http://www.spreadingsantorum.com), then click to continue (don't click the like on the first page). on the top right you will find another Like button. click on that one, that worked for me.
If my facebook menagerie is bothered by my liking this page, then they can just go and sever their arms in protest, I won't stop them.

I went there and clicked, but nothing happened. I'm happy to click for you, my dear, but I will join facebook for no man (or woman).
