FacebookShareCount Plugin for Movable Type Released

I just released a new plugin called FacebookShareCount.  Using Facebook's API it pulls in the number of shares each of your entries has received on Facebook, and adds this information to your Movable Type installation.  You can then display this info in the backend of your MT installation (if you are using MT5) via the listing framework, or sort entries with it in published templates.
You can enable the plugin on a blog-by-blog basis.  Note that the plugin uses the periodic tasks framework to pull in this information every hour for each of your entries, so if you have a very large blog it might slow down things a bit.
