Facebook Question!

[KR McKay]

Attention, Facebook users!

I have a question about Facebook.

I have had a FB account for a while, but never really used it at all. Now, my wife has jumped on board, and is posting lots of pics of our dog that I like to see, so I'm checking it more often.

Anyway, my question is this: When I read an article on-line, and it has a FB "Share" button at the bottom, if I click that button, does it just post that article to my "wall,' or does it send that article to all of my "friends?" There are articles I'd like to have available for anyone who visits my "wall" to look at, but don't want to "clog up" my "friends'" area where all the posts & stuff show up. I'm just fuzzy on how that whole deal "works."

Based on what I said I want to do in the red text, above, what are your suggestions?

I believe your "friends posts area" is called the News Feed. And no anything that you post on your Wall will not be seen on the News Feed. The News Feed is just for friends posts to show up in.

It will post it to other's walls. It does not post to everyone's walls just some of them. I have no idea how fb determines who gets to see it. I "share" posts all the time. Not everyone I know gets to see the posts, but I have a few people that comment about the posts because they see them "shared" on their walls.
