   I guess I don't understand what you mean.  When I post something to Facebook,   
   all my followers receive it.  I only have about 60 some followers.  But many   
   of them "share" my "Publicaton Announcements."  If only my good wyfe and my   
   sister-in-law share my    
   Publication Announcements, then that includes about 200 more people.  And,   
   usually more than those two females "share" my Announcements.  And then, some   
   of their Facebook Friends share, and then others share, etc..  It's sorta like   
   "the wave" in a sports    
   stadium.     
      
   As an old-timer who was deeply involved in the telecommunications industry,   
   and as a life-long Science Fiction freak, I find the whole Facebook phenomena   
   very interesting.  It's easy to see how it's become a tool for r   
   volutionaries, terrorists, etc..
