No Frills Social Sharing URLs

Not a huge fan of share buttons in general, but people seem to like them. Below is a list of social networks and their respective, good ol' fashion, URLs for sharing content.

[TITLE] indicates where to add your own title, url, description etc. Do not include the square brackets.

Feel free to add / update them, either in the comments or a fork.
