For Facebook, pasting in the signed and/or encrypted message and
clicking "post" is the simplest way.

I don't use Twitter but converting text to a QR code and posting it as
an image is an interesting way around the 140-character limit. There
are also plenty of mobile phone apps around that will read or generate
QR codes, so people don't need to jump through too many hoops to read
the message.

It is not necessary to have enemies if you go out of your way to make friends hate you.
