Can't find my page when creating Linkedin App? - linkedin

I want to connect Linkedin with a third party but I got an issue when I try to create a Linkedin App (https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer?newapp)
In the field "Company" I'm not able to find one of my page. I got the message "oops something went wrong..".
I'm admin on this page. Tried with others pages, it's working fine.
It may be related to the "&" in this company's name.
Tried with different writing/url code, but it doesn't appear either.
Can a Linkedin Dev help me?
Thanks in advance.

At this time seems a bug exists in the UI of the "Create App" developer page for Company page with special chars in their name.
Seems as workaround is use the HEX value of the encoded chars as example, for the & char you can use %26 as example, in order to find a page named Technology & Strategy you should use Technology %26 Strategy hope this help

Facebook shares not using og:url when clicked in Facebook?

One of the purposes of og:url -- I thought -- was that it was a way you could make sure sessions variables, or any other personal information that might find its way into a URL, would not be passed along by sharing in places like Facebook. According to the best practices on Facebook's developer pages: "URL
A URL with no session id or extraneous parameters. All shares on Facebook will use this as the identifying URL for this article."
(under good examples: developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices)
This does NOT appear to be working, and I am puzzled as to either -- how I misunderstood, and/or what I have wrong in my code. Here's an example:
https://vault.sierraclub.org/fb/test.html?name=adrian
When I drop things into the debugger, it seems to be working fine...
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fvault.sierraclub.org%2Ffb%2Ftest.html%3Fname%3Dadrian
og:url reads as expected (without name=adrian).
But if I share this on facebook -- and then click the link. The URL goes to the one with name=adrian in it, not the og:url.
Am I doing something incorrectly here, or have I misunderstood? If the latter, how does one keep things like sessions variables out of shares?
Thanks for any insight.
UPDATE
Facebook replied to a bug report on this, and I learned that I indeed was reading the documentation incorrectly
developers.facebook.com/bugs/178234669405574/
The question then remains -- is there any other method to keeping sessions variables/authentication tokens out of shares?

How to add a bespoke social sharing message to a specific page

I've used services like 'Add This' for a while but now I need to add a couple of specific bits of functionality to an ecommerce order completion page. It's to work like Amazon's order thank you page where it allows you to post a message to Facebook saying something like 'I just bought a widget on Amazon'.
Equally I'm looking for the equivalent in Twitter.
I've added a bunch of OG tags and share buttons but can't get it to do what I need. From further reading it sounds like I might need to create a Facebook app of some sort and use FB ui to create the link to post to the user's wall. I was hoping to do this without getting tangled up in that level of permissions etc but maybe that's not possible any more?
This is being developed on asp.net C#, in case there's a library that I haven't found in my searching.
Can anyone familiar with this type of development point me in the right direction?
For Twitter, the simplest way is to use Web Intents.
For example, if you want to share the text
I love http://example.com
URL encode the text to I%20love%20http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com and use the Twitter Web Intent URI. E.g.
https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I%20love%20http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com
When the user clicks on that link (try it!) or is directed there by your service, they'll be prompted to share that text.

How to find out upload/post time of an special website URL?

Often when searching for information i hit the problem, that the author of an article/website/blog post doesnt give out a date.
Is there any way (maybe special meta search engine, web-archives, use of google search operators to find out at least on which month & year a website URL was uploaded?
thx
puttin
javascript:alert(document.lastModified)
in the adress bar of a browser with loaded page pops up a date and time. Where this time data is coming from i have no idea, probably time html or php file was created on server. On the other way i thought javascript cannot access filesystem, but im no expert...
Still curious if someone knows a reliable method of finding out when a specific .html site was created as i find it useful for enquiry.

API for word definitions

i'm trying to implement a little app which basically only hs a label, textbox and a button and when the user enters a word, i want to connect to some online api to retrieve the word's definition and display it in the label. is this possible? all i keep finding is api's related to other stuff on google/other se's. but i have seen this in practice before so i know they are out there, i just don't know where.
I suggest you try WordNet. It has got an API that you can use over the web.
Check it out here: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/related-projects/#web
If you search more probably you will find, but let me give you a hint:
You can make a http web request to any website who handles word definitions. You can even search for "define: " + word in google and get the response.
