Create API Upgrade

[Jonathan Strauss]

Just a quick note that we've just deployed an upgrade to our v1 Create APIs (http://groups.google.com/group/awesm-api/web/api-documentation-url-creation).

This was primarily an infrastructure upgrade to pave the way for the v2 Create APIs. However, it also contains the following changes:

* Fixed a bug on the /url/share endpoint that prevented you from passing an awesm_url as the target= value.

* Added user-agent blacklisting to the /url/share endpoint to prevent web crawlers from creating false shares when crawling links embedded on web pages. If you were previously using /url/share via curl, you should switch to using /url as documented.

If you experience any other issues with the Create APIs, please let us know ASAP!

Thanks,
-jonathan
