  The automatically generated text “Be the first to like this” is being added to the bottom of all of my facebook and google+ shares. This has been happening since March 9th.

  Was my e-mail with the screenshot received? I never got any confirmation.

  To add some additional information, I’m certain that this is a side effect of the fact that my blog entries are normally short. I think that the facebook and google+ share features only accept the first couple hundred characters as input. Since many of my posts are shorter than a couple hundred characters, it must be accidentally grabbing the “like” text from the bottom of the page.

  I’ve received a message a few days ago that the issue was being addressed. When I used the facebook and google+ share buttons this morning it appears to be fixed.

  Thank you!
