Facebook share link - can you customize the message body text?

Question

I\'m trying to create a link that will share a page on Facebook. So far I\'ve got:

href=\"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php
?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F

To add some text, what I did some time ago , if the link you are sharing its a page you can modify. You can add some meta-tags to the shared page:

It's a small hack. Although the old share button has been replaced by the "like"/"recommend" button where you can add a comment if you use the XFBML version. More info her:
