We're living in the middle of the 2nd decade of the 21st century. The web 
has been around for 20 years; desktop computers 30+ years.

Certainly, copy-and-pasting of links should be 3rd-nature.

If the problem is not having a Facebook account, start one. Of the 7 
billion people on the planet, over a billion have a Facebook account, and 
I bet that metric will only go up by the end of next month.

There's no skinny, no HowTo, no FAQ, no FB for Dummies. Jump in the deep 
end of the pool and learn how to swim.

Thanks to open-source, big-data software like Hadoop, you along w/ your 
other billion counterparts, can post an item and it will be replicated 
quickly and made available across Facebook's globally-dispersed 
infrastructure in microseconds.

EuroMaiden 2013-2014 would not be Euromaidan 2013-2014 w/o СоцМережа, with 
terms such as ПЕРЕПОСТ gaining frequency.

US-based commentators fish Facebook, because they're "doing media and want 
to have their facts straight. ..."



Gooood grief.....
