I used to be able to have facebook and twitter share buttons in my RSS widget.  Now I can ony see the twitter button.  When I went to the blidget to edit, the option is now only for twitter.  What gives?

Here is the answer I received in email from Widgetbox....

Hello Jim,

Due to recent changes to Facebook's policies we have been forced to remove all Facebook integration from Widgetbox. I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Best Regards,

Philip

This is not good.  What other plans does Widgetbox have to be able to integrate with Facebook, the largest social network, in the future?

Really?  I am seeing share on facebook buttons all over the interwebs.  What policy change has occurred that singles out Widgetbox?  I use Zoomerang for polls and surveys, Constant Contact for events and email marketing and Wordpress for 2 blogs.  All of these have share with facebook utilities on them.  I visit numerous pages that allow a share button.  In fact there is an app that can be placed on your pages that encourage this as well - sharethis.com.  Is widgetbox so different?
