How to show particular image as thumbnail while implementing share on Facebook?

Question

I am trying to implement share this method. I am using the code as follows

http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=my_website_url

Now when Facebook is showing it showing some thumbnails at left side. These images are picked from my website. How can I pick a particular image as thumbnail or at least stop it showing thumbnail?

This blog post seems to have your answer: http://blog.capstrat.com/articles/facebook-share-thumbnail-image/

Specifically, use a tag like the following:

<link rel="image_src" 
      type="image/jpeg" 
      href="http://www.domain.com/path/icon-facebook.gif" />

The name of the image must be the same as in the example.

Edit: There is also much more detailed (and likely more correct) information here: http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php

I was having the same problems and believe I have solved it. I used the link meta tag as mentioned here to point to the image I wanted, but the key is that if you do that FB won't pull any other images as choices. Also if your image is too big, you won't have any choices at all.
