Facebook and Twitter URL to post status

Question

Is there a method that can post a status to Facebook or Twitter. Twitter has this:

http://www.twitter.com/?status=This+is+the+status+that+will+be+grabbed+by+Twitter

What about Facebook?

Thanks.

I know about doing it by cURL, but I'm not asking about that :p

Answer 1

You're nearly right for twitter. Try:

http://twitter.com/?status=Your+Update+Here

Hate to say it, but I don't think it's possible with Facebook. At least, not without an application or some wizardry.

Answer 2

There is not an option like this for facebook. To do this, it involves writing an application using their API in order to post any type of status update.

Answer 3

If you want to publish a status to facebook, you must use the HTTP POST operation. So, no, there is no GET-based URL via which you can publish an update.

In theory, you could create an HTML form that would POST. You'd need to get an auth token somehow, though.
