I am looking for a facebook widget or code I can add to my website that creates a wall post with a picture (that I provide) that a visitor can share with their friends (on their wall). After sharing the post, they get a thank you message with a coupon code. The idea is to give a 10% discount on a purchase for sharing their intent to purchase with their friends on Facebook. For example, the post could read, “I am going to buy this cool surfboard rack from Cor Surf, and they are giving me $5 off just for sharing this with my friends. Check out the rack I’m buying!” and then a link to the product page.
