Bug Description

After a photo has been uploaded to facebook from Shotwell, a tag is added indicating it had been uploaded "via ubuntu". The word "ubuntu" is clickable, but the link is 404 (https://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=302061903208115). I'm not sure how you'd go about doing it - obviously through facebook - but replaceing the dead link with info on ubuntu/Shotwell would be ideal - others (friends of ubuntu users) who see that tag on an uploaded image can follow the link and learn more about the project.

I see the exact same URL when clicking on the "Log in to use your Facebook account with <Ubuntu>." Ubuntu hyperlink from within the signon-ui / online accounts page.

It directs to a page containing a large bandaged thumbs-up image and the wording:

Sorry, this page isn't available
The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.

While I would ordinarily trust a service built into Ubuntu, this would imply to me that I shouldn't - Facebook doesn't recognise Ubuntu as an official app.

Ubuntu 13.04, utilising the Chat only element of the Facebook connector.

Ubuntu patched Shotwell to make it work with their Online Accounts system, and this link is created by their plugin / Facebook application. I've added that project to this ticket.
