Facebook isn't the web. Its a siloed private service. A company the size and reputation of Fluke should have their very own website that they can put messages like that on. Otherwise, they're merely giving facebook revenue by having that many more pageview opportunities to show everybody ads.

This has been true for this post, but there have been many "view this on facebook" posts that do block you with a signup.

Twitter seems to do this too (frequently I'm prompted to log in.)

Bah, I want my ye olde internet back.

Yeah, but I won't read it if it's on facebook. And I'm like reeeeaaallly important to this company.

In all seriousness, I know my opinion matters very little, but I just don't visit facebook for reasons.

[dublinben]

You still have to visit facebook.

It hasn't been explicitly stated yet, and may not be apparent to everyone, but it's blocked in some networks. It's not just a case of "I despise Facebook so much I refuse to visit it."

[jmathai]

That's a very valid point. Hadn't considered that.
