With Facebook
we have the Open Graph tags
that allow webmasters to specify how the story is displayed on Facebook.
Is there something similar for the Google +1
button, that allows webmasters to specify the thumbnail image, description and title? Google+
seems to be ignoring the og-meta tags
.
If I share a link to our webapp (restorm.com) in Google+ then the title, description and image are taken from the respective
og:
tags (og:title
,og:description
,og:image
).These tags
end up being shared like this
So the title and description are definitely taken from
og:title
andog:description
, and not from the title and description meta tag...
