| When your users click on the mob sharing link, it sends the URL of your page to our servers, which then look up certain html tags on the page to display a preview of the page. If you want a page preview to appear make sure your pages have at minimum the title and description summary tag. In addition you can identify a preview image, and create a preview for any audio or video files you have on your page. |
| Basic Tags |
|
To have basic page preview with the title, summary and image appear, your page should have the following tags:
<meta name="title" content="Snow coming to the North Pole next week" />
Make sure the content fields don't contain any html tags, because they will be stripped out.
<meta name="description" content="Weather forecast says it will most likely start snowing at the North Pole next week" /> <link rel="image_src" href="http://www.example.com/images/snowing_at_north_pole.gif" /> |
| Audio Tags |
|
Best way to add audio and video files to page preview is to combine the "Basic Tags" (title, description, image_src) with the audio/video tags:
<meta name="title" content="page_title" /> <meta name="description" content="audio_description" /> <link rel="image_src" href="audio_image_src url (eg. album art)" /> <link rel="audio_src" href="audio_src url" /> <meta name="audio_type" content="Content-Type header field" /> <meta name="audio_title" content="Example Song Name" /> <meta name="audio_artist" content="Example Artist Name" /> <meta name="audio_album" content="Example Album Name" /> |
| Video Tags |

The appropriate metadata for this Flash video embed:
<embed src="http://www.example.com/player.swf" flashvars="video_id=123456789" width="300" height="200" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
Would look like this:
<meta name="title" content="Flash Video Metadata Example" />
<meta name="description" content="This is a video metadata example" /> <link rel="image_src" href="http://www.example.com/123456789/screen.jpg" /> <link rel="video_src" href="http://www.example.com/player.swf?video_id=123456789"/> <meta name="video_height" content="200" /> <meta name="video_width" content="300" /> <meta name="video_type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" /> |
