FaceBook integration not working in Mac OS

For some reason FaceBook integration does not appear to be working anywhere in Mountain Lion for me today.

The links are all there, I am signed in to FaceBook.

In Safari I can seelct the share to FaceBook option but nothing happens.

In the Notifications panel I click on the 'Click to Post' button and nothing happens.


Is this a FaceBook issue or something on my compurer?

It only started today, I have rebooted, no effect.


All other share options work great 9Twitter, emal, message).

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 24 inch, 4GB

I experienced the same problem, both in Safari on my Mac, and in an iOS app that I'm writing. However, in the latter case, I am in control of what gets posted, so I started tinkering. One of the options when creating the post is to include a URL in it; when I include the URL, I get this error. However, omitting the URL and just including plain text, it works just fine. However, when sharing something from Safari, you're including the URL of the page you're sharing, and thus it craps out; not so when posting from Notification Center.


So yeah, it sounds like something changed on the FB end that's causing this to barf. Hopefully Apple's engineers are on top of it, and beating FB engineers into submission. 🙂

Best guess is a change in the Facebook API. FB is constantly dabbling with their software, rolling out new developments to clusters of users at a time... so now and then something gets inevitable broken in third party apps, that connect to FB. MenuTab for instance had to update nearly every other week to keep track with the constant changes.
