I discovered a customizable away of sharing a link on Facebook. The URL is as follows:
http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=Sample+title%21&p[url]=http://hellopodium.com/&p[summary]=Upcoming+talks+in+toronto&p[images][0]=http://hellopodium.com/static/images/facebook.v2.png
If you break that down, you can see the following details:
- s=100Not sure what this does, but if it's set to- 101, the Facebook Sharer will pull in the data automatically from the source
- p[title]=Sample+title%21The title of the page being posted
- p[url]=http://hellopodium.com/The URL of the page being posted
- p[summary]=Upcoming+talks+in+torontoThe description/summary of the post
- p[images][0]=http://hellopodium.com/static/images/facebook.v2.pngThe image that should be shown in the feed
This ability was news to me, so I thought I would post it here as a reminder to myself, as well as for you, enthusiastic reader :)
