Why are you going via your server? Couldn't you have the JS get the data from Facebook's Graph API directly?

  I wasn't expecting this much traffic, so I didn't really care about server performance because it was irrelevant. I only posted it to my Facebook and Twitter, and now it has around 25 likes, I've been twittered by a guy with 4K followers and someone appears to have bloggd me. It's awesome, but very hard to keep it online. I may implement client-side JS in the near future. Thanks for the suggestions!

  Yep, this page handled entirely client-side, with some analytics JS on top for good measure: setInterval( function() { $.getJSON( "https://graph.facebook.com/mittromney", function(results) { console.log("Mitt Romney Like Count: " + results.likes)})}, 5000) Edit: Love the idea, glad the page is out there! Great conversation starter.

    Haven't tried it, but isn't that blocked by Javascript's cross-domain protection?

      jQuery fixes that.
