Hmm, I thought people mainly knew about this. But I researched this a lot while making http://2fb.me and actually witnessed this myself with google docs but didn't think twice about it. I'm sure the same thought was going through the heads of everybody reading this that knew anything about how the Facebook sharer worked. For those that found this news, it's beneficial to put open graph meta tags on your pages to control the crawler and you can also invoke the crawler (http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) when your page changes before Facebook updates it automatically every 2 weeks or so.
