FB viral channel (invitation)

Invitation used to be the most effective viral channel (circa mid 2008),
but it become less apparent and useful. However, invitation should be
compelling and social. Instead of ask friends to join a new app, give
them compelling reasons: to compete, to collaborate, to show off, etc!
FB viral channel (notification)

Even though feeds are more apparent, but notification are more
persistent. It’s an effective communication protocol for app to users
(promotion + update) and users to users (social action)
FB viral channel (news feed)

News feed is what users pay most attention to on Facebook. They are
the most apparent, and as of late the most effective viral channel. Use
attention grabbing graphics, and include relevant social message!
