1) Last time I looked encodeURIComponent does not encode URLs in a sufficient manner. For example, it does not turn "[]" into corresponding entities. Therefore, tiddler titles with blank spaces might fail ...at least worth testing (again). On the other hand... I think it should actually be facebook's serverside that does the propper encoding... assuming that any non-standard characters in the url component are NOT eaten up for some security reason.
2) Trying TiddlyWiki URL's with [1] seems to work when pasted from the chrome address bar. However, the "same" URL - above all, any special characters in it - might look quite different in firefox, ie or opera. 3) Probably overkill, but maybe there's a url shortening service outthere that would allow (via xhr) to shorten url's which contain hashes, umlaute, brackets, etc. For performance reasons (on both ends), such a request should definetely only be fired, whenever a user clicks on the button, not when tiddlers load ...which means that some indication of "please wait"or error handling might be of need. Obviously, this would obfuscate the actual destination of the link and possibly mess with facebooks statistics as to how many people like the actual destination's url, e.g. people using their own shareaholics (or other) instead of your like button. X) All in all, I would tend to believe that the problem entirely lies in (incredibly huge) browser differences as for encoding uri's. There just does not seem to exist some agreed upon standard as to how (and when) url's are to be properly encoded ...which kind of sucks. On the other hand, encodeURIComponent does not harmonize crucial characters (yet) ...such that url's can be generated inside TW which would work across all major browsers... unless we're talking urls which do not contain a lot more than latin, alphanumeric characters.
