"Thank you for the wonderful NPR app for Android, it has become my primary 
source for news...... HOWEVER, I've never been able to share an article from 
the app on Facebook on any of the three devices I've tried it on (Moto 
Backflip, HTC Aria, and Samsung Captivate). The mobile FB share link page loads 
in the browser, but when I tap submit, the page is merely refreshed. Thanks 
again, and I hope to be sharing NPR soon!"

"I am not able to share the stories I read on facebook. It will go as far as 
taking me to mobile fb & asking for comments & to post onto facebook. Once I 
press "post to wall" nothing happens. It jus loops to the same screem asking to 
post to wall. Its not my phone because posting with other apps, like BBC, work 
just fine & they are posted tge exact way as explain. I am annoyed by this only 
because there are some really good stories I want to share. Thanks for your 
time."

It looks like what BBC app does is pass the link as the entire "body" of the 
Share intent. Facebook is failing for NPR because we're passing the name of the 
article followed by the link (my best guess). Unfortunately, if we just pass 
the link in the body, this doesn't work as well for, e.g. text or IM where you 
may want to tell someone why they should click on the link (like with a story 
title). But we can make this change so that Facebook works and see if anyone 
has problems with that for SMS or IM.

I'll make this change to the trunk (2.0) this week.
