We currently only share the URL and page title with the Windows 8 share charm. We should instead share a rich preview of the web page like IE10 will be doing. We should add a scriptable interface so we can determine what is shared with JS code. The JS code should generate a thubmnail and some text about the page in HTML. See here: Sharing Links from IE10 on Windows 8 http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/05/14/sharing-links-from-ie10-on-windows-8.aspx
We should also provide the ability to share in multiple formats, in particular: - Plain URL - Short HTML representation of what's being shared We should also take into account if the user has something selected, and use that as what's being shared. IE10 also uses markup to determine what is shared on a page: > <head> > <meta name="description" content="Brick Breaker TestDrive Demo Game, > Performance and Touch benchmark" /> > <title>Brick Breaker</title> > <meta property="og:image" content="Views/Homepage/Icons/BrickBreaker.png" /> > </head> > Property HTML tag Character limit > Title 1 <meta name="title" content="Insert Site Title Here” /> 160 > Title 2 <title>Insert Site Title Here</title> 160 > Description <meta name="description" content="Insert Site Description Here” /> 253 > Image 1 <meta property="og:image" content="insert_image_link_here" /> 2,048 (limit for image URI) > Image 2 <link rel="image_src" href="insert_image_link_here" /> 2,048 (limit for image URI) > Image 3 <meta name="image" content="insert_image_link_here" /> 2,048 (limit for image URI) > Image 4 <meta name="thumbnail" content="insert_image_link_here" /> 2,048 (limit for image URI)
CC'ing some UX members in case they have extra ideas or want to comment on Comment 0 and Comment 1.

So I think we may already be sharing everything. The main thing to do here is the meta tags stuff in Comment 1.
