Allan,
We couldn't agree more that it's not good news. We're hopeful that Facebook will implement their changes soon, which is why I recommended using the "Does this repro" link in the bug report. The more users that do that, the higher the visibility of that issue. I did see your comment on the post as well, but that's not as visible to Facebook as the "12 people can reproduce this issue by following these step" note, which increases when the Repro link is clicked.
As for other options, there are multiple:
* You can simply use the Like button, which can post in a user's Timeline.
* You can create another type of action that is user-initiated (clickable), like "Enjoyed", "Recommend", "Share", "Want to learn more", etc and associate them with your article. Then, the user can click those 'actions' to have them post.
* You can use a feature of JFBConnect to click a button and have a share dialog window appear. That will let the user add their own custom Facebook Wall post with a link back to your page.
You cannot:
* Automatically post on the user's behalf using the /me/feed action. The news.reads action is the only action Facebook will allow you to use to post automatically about reading an article. They want control of that ability so that they can change it if abused. If everyone does their own thing, they loose some of that control. Feed posts like that would violate their terms.
Hope that helps explain. If there's anything we can help with from the above, just let me know,
Alex
