How to Copy and Repost in Facebook
If a Facebook friend posts something clever or interesting, whether it's a status message or photo, you can share it with others. To copy and repost in Facebook, use the Share function. This function allows you to add interesting updates to your own Wall, to someone else's Wall or to a specific group of people. The Share function appears for items such as links, videos and photos.

Tips & Warnings
If the item you're reposting does not include the "Share" link, highlight the text, right-click and choose "Copy." Go to your Home page or Wall. Right-click and "Paste" the text in the Status update box. Press "Share."
To give credit to the person from whom you're copying and reposting, leave a comment to your update and include his name.
