Facebook and LinkedIn don't work like the other AddThis buttons. Instead of accepting parameters that we pass them, they request the URL you're sharing and gets the data it displays from the meta and link tags in the header. To control how your page is shared on Facebook and LinkedIn you should use OpenGraph tags which are described in Facebook's documentation here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/

Also, I noticed that you're trying to control the buttons that appear by increasing the preferred number. Are you aware that you can just set a specific service? Details are available here: http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/84642-preferred-versus-specified-services
