how can you get re-tweeted on Facebook????

Mixing up you Social Networks, Epic Fail. Epic.

Pedantic much? Try "Tweeted and re-Tweeted", then. Saw this on Twitter, but I don't do Facebook at all, so I dunno what it's called on there.

Even more Epic, and on topic: no idea why the Czechs are wearing shiny blue Wellington boots, but someone's got to do it, I suppose ...
