I don't, because I can't sing. I have expressed my opinion about FB on my blog in numerous posts. Some make it a pity party. Others use it for their political party. Most don't know what the hell they are doing. "Like" is a simple thing to click. Share is not much tougher. Now writing your own original thought - I would guess maybe 10% have done that.
