Briefly, there’s been a standard for including machine-readable metadata in web pages so that when Twitter or Facebook posts a link to the page, they can use an image, title, description and link to the source website in creating a “card” for the post. It’s very easy to support in a CMS, so people tend to do it. My site has the feature.#
There’s a confusing story going around that Twitter was limiting this feature, or even ignoring it. It wasn’t clear from the story exactly what they were doing, so let’s find out. #
I’ve added an image and description to this post. Did they come through when I pointed to it on Twitter? #
Where are you reading the post? A mobile device, desktop, some other place? #
Ignore this if you got it via email, this feature doesn’t apply there.#
Screen shot: When I read the post in Chrome on my desktop Mac, the title and description were not shown, the image was shown, and the name of the site was shown. #
