### A brief social primer:

To use a social, simply type it. To use a social on someone else, type: social target. To use a social on yourself, type: social self.

For example:

If Bill Clinton types: smile, he will see:
You smile.

Everyone else will see:
Bill Clinton smiles.

If Bill Clinton is chatting with Jean Chretien and wants to express friendship, he might type: smile Jean. He would see:
You smile at Jean Chretien.

Jean Chretien would see:
Bill Clinton smiles at you.

Everyone else present would see:
Bill Clinton smiles at Jean Chretien.

If Bill Clinton wanted to be narcissistic, he might type: smile self. He would see:
You smile at yourself.

Everyone else would see:
Bill Clinton smiles at himself.
