Unlocking the potential of the OpenGraph
Protocol to be a universal API...one URL at a
time!
1. Unlocking the potential of the OpenGraph Protocol to be a universal API...one URL at a
time!
a. Dear Niall and the Posterous gang:
i. Right after I sent the email last night regarding the very same subject, I
received this from the OGP, generated by Niall Kennedy, who has
constructed a nifty configurator for people who want to try and like a page or
two on Facebook! Unfortunately, it's only useful if you have A LOT OF EXTRA
TIME ON YOUR HANDS, as it generates the META Tags for one Page, URL,
Site, or other things that come in one's at a time.
ii. After compiling the information below representing only a fraction of mine
and thousands of other third-party bloggers on sites like Posterous, which
has provided little or no transparency regarding this cosmic-seeming joke, I
am once again overwhelmed by Niall's well-meaning but utterly absurd TOOL
and Posterous, et. al.'s lack of significant help in the matter, that I am
unable to gather it all into a more comprehensible puzzle than the one in
which it presents itself to me on a daily basis.
1. Maybe Niall will have some thoughts on this predicament which
continues to generate an overwhelming amount of Facebook Real
Estate, by way of Posterous, via my site (going on for about the last
six months now), so that each time a PAGE on MY BLOG is 'Liked',
each time it is transformed into a lovely Facebook Page, and each
time it is anonymously christened Dogmeat!
a. On a less cynical note: Thank you, Niall for updating the one
and only other explication to an Open Graph with something a
little more concrete in an otherwise absurd experiment in
exactly what one would imagine might occur...
iii. "...IF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD GOT TOGETHER IN AN HUGE SEMANTIC
BUTTERFLY ORGY TO THINK UP TAG NAMES FOR STUFF ON THE INTERNET,
AND THE KID FROM FACEBOOK DECIDED TO PUT HIS MOST ANTI-SOCIAL
EASL-SPEAKING ENGINEERING STAFF TO WORK IMPLEMENTING IT AS A
MASSIVE, IMPENETRABLE TANGLE OF BUTTON PUSHING POSITIVE
AFFIRMATION IN CODE SO DENSE..."
1. (well you probably get where I'm going)
a. ALTHOUGH, I WILL SAY
i. On behalf of myself and the other million or so hosted
bloggers out there who have tried and failed, or tried
and given up, I'm afraid NOT ONE of us will ever set
foot in a movie theater screening The Rock for as long
as we live.
iv. Seriously, I read your message and I completely agree with your opinion of
trying to provide a little accessibility to this thing for those of us who have
grown disenchanted by the above.

Dogmeat
Sean Connery insisted the producers build a cabin for him on Alcatraz as
he didn't want to travel from the mainland to the island every day; he
got what he asked for.
Most of the scenes involving F/A-18s are stock footage of the U.S. Navy
Blue Angels.
http://opengraphprotocol.us/
The website is backed by a new Open Graph protocol input sanitizer/validator with
many assumptions built-in to account for some loose definitions within the OGP spec.
The PHP class accepts user-submitted values, cleans up whitespace, checks against
allowed values, and stores the input. I also included a few tools for country and region
validation (based on ISO 3166 and the Debian ISO Codes project) and converting the
class to HTML. If you have libcurl there are a few extra features such as checking an
og:url actually exists or an og:image returns an appropriate Internet media type.
https://github.com/niallkennedy/open-graph-protocol-tools
I believe the majority of publishers we would like to see include OGP markup in their pages are not editing
their pages or templates by hand. Their websites are powered by GoDaddy, WordPress, Drupal, and other
tools intended to hide the code and the headaches of web publishing. If Open Graph protocol can be distilled
into tools, validators, and helpers easily reused on these platforms I think we'll see a lot more indexable
content making its way onto the Web.
I will break down some of my spec assumptions into separate topics/threads. Feedback
appreciated.
Thanks,
-Niall Kennedy

Page description
Dear Posterous,
I'm hoping that one of you might be able to help me finalize the correct open graph (og type)
equivalent for my site, which has finally successfully associated with my site's Facebook
Application.
I've been trying different things for a very long time, and I've done everything I can. I just need
to know which one of these Specific Posterous Elements (you think) I should plug into my og:title,
og:url, og:etc.
i realize you guys have the information for the Facebook SDK inserted which is causing the
warning, but I don't know how else to associate my app without doubling up.
I've tried everything to this point, and without showing you examples of the various combinations
of permalink, post_url,post_id, brackets, no brackets, encoded no encoded...it just got to the
point where I have exhausted any sense I used to make out of it.
Thanks,

App ID 190502347629977 Description Occurrences of the word "glean" per million words:
I'm mainly trying to get this to show the title for posts on post pages, but i don't know how to
plug in an 'else' or 'if' or which corresponding Posterous Element I would use. So far I've tried
og:title={Title} and og:title={PageTitle} I've also tried encoding the brackets, and lower case
'title' and nothing at all, and everything combination you can think of for the last six months or
more...So I could really use some advice at this point. Site Name Dogmeat Site URL
