Mostly what @BinaryBullet said. fb.me is a urlshortener and then it hits real CDNed files. I (as maintainer of React) suggest not actually using fb.me urls in production. Use cdnjs or jsdelivr. Or host it yourself. We've been meaning to put together a proper CDN hosting setup for JS libraries but just haven't gotten around to it.

Out of curiosity why don't you suggest using the fb.me urls in production? It would be nice to take advantage of the reach of Facebook to know that a decent percentage of users would have hit the CDN'ed react url before hitting non-fb site(s).

Ok, thanks. That is what I am actually doing now (host it yourself). It might be nice to mention that in the documentation/article that those links shouldn't not be used on production. Currently it is definitely not the messaging that comes across. eg. "Minified build for production: http://fb.me/react-0.12.0.min.js"
