How to implement share functionality in iOS? e.g. allow the user to share a random fact?

I'm trying to extend the Fun Facts application and I'm wanting to be able to share the facts (like on Android, I was able to put in a share button where if you clicked it, you could share the fact to a text message, facebook, twitter, etc). How can I do this?

If I were you, I'd start out by looking into Social.framework

Thanks guys! that was helpful & I was able to connect it to Twitter and Facebook. I still can't figure out how to share via text message through. How can I do that?

Updated my previous answer. The method is not as direct has my the twitter example. I am sure there is a better way if you where to look threw the documentation, but this is the best I could find for video tutorial at this time.
