vidr.io doesn’t have any Open Graph tags. I didn’t know what Open Graph was until yesterday. It’s a standard which defines some <meta>
tags describing a webpage. Those tags are intended to be used when embedding the page elsewhere, such as when the URL is shared in social media.
Open Graph meta tags all take the form: <meta property="og:KEY" content="VALUE"/>
. Open Graph has four “required” keys: title
, type
, image
and url
. The type
is one of a set of strings like website
, video
, music
, profile
, etc., and depending on the type
, there are more properties you can define.
The other required properties seem to have equivalents in pre-existing tags:
<meta property="og:title" content="FOO"/>
is roughly the same as <title>FOO</title>
<meta property="og:image" content="FOO"/>
is roughly the same as <link rel="icon" href="FOO"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="FOO"/>
is roughly the same as <link rel="canonical" href="FOO"/>
I wrote this because I want to improve Vidrio's sharing before widely publicizing it. This post is my own, and not associated with my employer.
