The facebook app must be overloaded with traffic, I keep timing out trying to connect to it.
Can someone tell me how much we're up to (# shares / 10,000)
No, right now, no one can tell. It's not timing out, the servers that host the app (at 360pr-design.com) are down. They're not even responding to ping, and haven't been for nearly two hours.

After this blunder, Wizards should just give us the card. We would have had it by now anyways.
"The site was crashed by approximately 25,000 simultaneous visitors, but we have no way of knowing whether they would have shared, so the 10,000 goal was not reached. We hope you stay tuned for the official release of information in 3 weeks."
Perhaps you should just send WOTC a resume and tell them why you're better at Magic than one of their employees instead of complaining here, where nobody really has any authority on the matter.
Has anyone else noticed that recently Wizards has had an upswing in technical facepalms? It seems like at least twice a week they're hitting a computer with a rock yelling "WHAT DO?!"

Still they have tried, it's just that for some reason they have not invested on decent servers. Come one WOTC you have half a million likes and still you insist on having a small cap on your promo stuff.

If it does not respond at all to ping, then it is by definition a connection time out ;):p But yeah, I get what you're saying, the traffic volume brought their server to their knees. I guess Wizards got more than they bargained for!

Bah, lies!
They must think no one uses Linux and can actually test that claim
People use Linux?
...
Consider my mind blown.
OT though, this is quite the bad PR for Wizards. First making people spam the facebook of their friends and then it crashes so we don't get what we spammed for. Eesh.

I highly believe that this is kind of bs because I did not think anything was being revealed until this weekend unless somehow conveniently this somehow completely legitimately of course happens to unlock right around the weekend at the panel.
Notice the subtlety of Wizards trying desperately to stay "hip" and "trendy" and "epic win" by using Facebook to spoil cards.
Its called marketing. As someone who is currently pursuing an MBA in Marketing I can tell you that it is important to reach out to any possible areas to spread brand awareness.

Pretty much everyone is having the same issue. I believe the last reported count was above 5000.

They spoil the rest of the set but never Avacyn. Then her card shows up completely covered in black ink to block it out =P

It was at about 5100 shares before it went down.
And they remove her from the set!

Maybe this a delayed April Fools joke.
HAHAHAHAHA! LOVE IT!
I WISH Wizards had the balls to do this. Would be soooo epic.
