-(IBAction)facebookPost:(id)sender{
   
   SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController 
   composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
   SLComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler myBlock = 
   ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result){
          if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled)
          {

-(IBAction)twitterPost:(id)sender{
    SLComposeViewController *tweetSheet = [SLComposeViewController 
    composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
    [tweetSheet setInitialText:@"My test tweet"];
