javascript:
var d = document;
var f = 'http://www.facebook.com/share';
var l = d.location;
var e = encodeURIComponent;
var p = '.php?src=bm&v=3&u=' + e(l.href) + '&t=' + e(d.title);
try {
if(!/^(.*\.)?facebook\.[^.]*$/.test(l.host))
throw(0);
share_internal_bookmarklet()
} catch(z){
a = function(){
if(!window.open(f+'r'+p,'sharer', 'toolbar=0, status=0, resizable=0, width=626, height=436'))
l.href=f+p;
};
if(/Firefox/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
setTimeout(a,0);
} else {
a();
}
}
void(0);
