How to pre-populate the Facebook status message through an URL similar to pre-populating a tweet?

Question

This question has been asked before on SO, but most of those questions were asked a long time ago.

Essentially, we want a simple way to pre-populate the Facebook status message through the URL much like you can with Twitter.

We're aware of the Facebook APIs, but are wondering if there is a more lightweight approach.

We don't need programmatically to post a message, but just provide some default text that the user can edit before sharing.

Answer 1

That actually violates the FB TOS:

Policy Violation: Pre-fill the user message parameter with any content the user didn't enter themselves, even if they can edit or delete that content before sharing. This applies to posts, comments, photo captions, and photo album captions.

Facebook doesn't want you to tell users what to say.
