Hey, I wrote a patch to disable tinyurl and optionally provide one's own short url for questions: https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/pull/100

I attempted to share a link to a question on my Askbot hosted site on Facebook. I clicked on the Facebook icon, but nothing happened. I clicked on it a few times, and nothing continued to happen:
I checked my web inspector, and I noticed that the JSONP request was getting a 503 response:
(right-click and select "Open Image in New Tab" to view full-size)
There should probably be some kind of feedback when these requests fail.

Seems to be a problem with http://json-tinyurl.appspot.com/ and google app engine, we'll have to change this provider because it will fail if their free GAE quota is exceeded.
I've just tried to share with fb on your site and it worked.

Also, something should be done about those pesky 503 errors, but aside from that, we need better feedback when the requests fail (:
