If you're friends with a broad range of people, you'll see all sorts of things that get shared or liked without much inherent virality to them. There are entire sites dedicated to phrases associated with like buttons that have absolutely no content at their endpoints (e.g. http://fblike.net). They basically just let users say they like something in their friends' feeds. If you add a like button to that page and set your Open Graph meta tags to make it say "natrius liked I Hate Meetings on MeetingMix.com"[1], I think you'll get plenty of traffic.

[1] I think the page would have to be on the meetingmix.com domain for that to work correctly. It might just make "MeetingMix.com" link to fixmeetings.com.

  og:title = "I Hate Meetings"
  og:site_name = "MeetingMix.com"
On fixmeetings.com and meetingmix.com:

  og:type = "website"
You might need some of the other meta tags in each place. Note that after 10 likes, you won't be able to change the title.
