Shareaholic Fail: Cannot connect Facebook after "Upgrade"

Aren't upgrades supposed to add functionality and not take them away. I was excited to read this morning that Shareaholic had upgraded so that I could now posts links directly to Facebook Pages that I administer like the Sage Employee, Alumni and Consultant Facebook Page, Schulz Consulting Facebook Page and MAS 90 Accounting Facebook Page.

Sadly it looks like the new Shareaholic is a whole heaping batch of fail --- at least on Google Chrome under Mac OS.

Now I'm unable to connect at all to Facebook.

Update: 7/19/10

My account shows as linked but I'm not able to share anything -- and not receiving an error message. I wonder if my shares are going to someone else's page?

Update 7/22/2010 - Problem appears to be resolved. I'm able to use sharing to both Facebook and Facebook pages I administer without issue.

QuickBooks for Mac 2010 adds credit processing, payroll

The company says its made over 40 enhancements to QuickBooks 2010, many aimed at new users. Intuit claims to have significantly reduced the number of set-up screens users must complete to get the software up and running. New "Guide Me" on screen hints help users through critical tasks, such as filling out invoices.
The Company Snapshot feature -- a quick-access dashboard for key company data -- can now be customized by the user. Intuit says it's also worked to simplify the interface throughout the application, reducing the number of steps required for routine functions such as printing and sending batch e-mails.
One feature new to the just-released QuickBooks 2010 for Windows -- but missing in the Mac version -- is a new "app-store," allowing users to purchase modules to add functionality to the program. An Intuit spokeswoman tells MacNN the company will consider adding similar support for the Mac version if enough customers request it.
The addition of payroll processing follows Intuit's recent purchase of online payroll startup PayCycle in June. Now called Intuit QuickBooks Payroll for Mac, the service works with data from QuickBooks to provide paychecks, tax forms and related services for a fee based on the number of workers.
QuickBooks 2010 for Mac also adds credit card processing from within the application, again using a service owned by Intuit. The company sells a USB-based credit card reader that lets merchants complete a sale without having to manually enter transaction data into QuickBooks.
