Facebook Share Buttons have Disappeared from Some Websites Including YouTube

Facebook Share button has suddenly disappeared from various websites since today. Some users are worried as they are assuming that the websites have removed the share button. One such website is YouTube which had the Facebook Share button an hour back and is not present any more.

Our Website Aeromental.net is also a victim of this issue which seems like it is from Facebook itself as we have code directly from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share and it doesn’t work.

The code was:

<script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
<a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Facebook</a>

For the moment we are migrating to the Like button.

Update (Wed December 22): Facebook Share button are now working. Facebook solved the bug or whatever they did, there is no notice from them about this.
