914176 - Audit Webmaker landing pages for OpenGraph, Twitter Card metadata

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Webmaker Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[David Humphrey (:humph)]

We aren't doing a good job at making our sites sharable in common sharing graph systems.  Facebook, G+, Twitter and other services use specially named meta elements in the head to solve this.

We need a few things here:

1) A list of the sharable URLs across Webmaker.  Obviously webmaker.org/ (i.e., the index page).  But, think bigger: what's the list of URLs within Webmaker that you want to make sure work well when you tweet or share on Facebook?

2) What do we want to say when we share each of these?  Let me show you the kinds of data we need to include:

<!-- Typical sharing data for Facebook, G+ -->
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Mozilla Webmaker">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://popcorn.webmaker.org/resources/icons/fb-logo.png">
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="200">
<meta property="og:description" content="Created with Popcorn Maker - part of the Mozilla Webmaker initiative">
<meta property="og:title" content="My new project">
<meta property="og:type" content="video.other">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://humphd.makes.org/popcorn/162v">

<!-- Typical sharing data for Twitter -->
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@nytimes">
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@SarahMaslinNir">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Parade of Fans for Houston’s Funeral">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="NEWARK - The guest list and parade of limousines with celebrities emerging from them seemed more suited to a red carpet event in Hollywood or New York than than a gritty stretch of Sussex Avenue near the former site of the James M. Baxter Terrace public housing project here.">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2012/02/19/us/19whitney-span/19whitney-span-article.jpg">

So note what's here:

* URLs
* Images
* Descriptions
* Titles

We basically need to create/author that info for each of the sharable-landing pages we identify.  I'll take this bug from a technical POV; but I'm CC'ing some folks for content expertise.

Happy to help with the descriptions when we get a list of shareable URLs.
