As a programming enthusiast I am connected to several programming Facebook pages as are hundreds of thousands of others. The benefits these pages provide for the people using them is a social programming experience that is a place to share and learn new code.
Simply paste your code, ask your question and get a reply in minutes. The only problem with this is Facebook does not provide us with any formatting ability. By giving us the ability to add [code] [/code] tags around our code significantly improves the readability of our programs and allows people to provide help at a much faster rate.
If you're a professional programmer, a beginner or even a hobbyist then I urge you to sign this petition to let Facebook know that programmers want code formatting!
How popular is programming on social media? Take a look for yourselves.

I, the undersigned, call on Mark Zuckerberg to add code formatting functionality to Facebook.
As an active member of a programming group page I would very much like to see this feature added within the near future.
