After Facebook took down the Internet last time, they updated all of the script snippets that they have and added an "async" attribute to them. The functionality is still missing when FB goes down, but the site you're looking at still loads quickly.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoI switched all of my social sharing widgets to static image buttons that bring up simple sharing windows just yesterday. My site loads so much faster and is completely unaffected by Facebook being down as a result.

- JohnTHaller 12y agoExactly. It decreases your overall footprint online, but you can still have access to it if you want it. I did a short note to our users here: http://portableapps.com/node/42106 http://portableapps.com/node/42106 I made a post elsewhere in this thread about it but it was downvoted. I'm thinking about packaging it up as a Drupal extension (what I run) as well as a raw package on github in the hopes that someone will be interested in doing a WordPress extension as well. There are a few posts about doing this online, but none tried to fully mimic the convenience and look of the standard buttons, so I thought folks might be interested.
