more credible than yours, but to my mind the teapote proof[1] is on your

It's related to knowledge diffusion, which was used as a pro argument 
for this feature if I am not mistaken.

Having a "copy this page address" button maybe? And you may paste it in 
whatever "social media" you like, as an email for example. ;)
