I make a website and I try to share it via Line chat. It seems that Line chat has a feature to display web preview like Facebook does. My question is, how to control which image and description that will be shown in Line chat? I know for Facebook but I never know in Line. I have tried googling around but I don't know the keyword for it. The google result is not what I expected.
Thank you for your help.
I think what you are searching is using HTML Meta Tags on sites. Social Media such as facebook, twitter, etc. usually reads index.html's <meta> tags to provide a preview about the sites. You may learn more about meta tags here.

My websites (which are just recovered from an attack) are fetched like this in Google Keep. However testing with Facebook Open Graph Debugger they appear normal. So is there a way to know what mechanism GK uses to fetch link preview?

I am sharing an url "https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/trend-tracking/jaitley-promises-robust-tax-regime-for-investors/articleshow/62741496.cms?utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=TEST-LINKEDIN" via share api, but no image is picked up from the og:image tag (i.e. meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com" ).
But when i am trying to share the same url from linkedin admin page, it is picking up the image. This means that the image follows all the size-standards and other things required by linkedin.
Then why is the share api not picking up image url from the open graph tag.
If you think your share is properly formatted, but it's not working, first thing I would do is head on over to the LinkedIn Post Inspector, which will examine your URL and look for problems.
But, your URL does look right! Are you sharing like this, with proper URL encoding?

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.
Has anyone been able to format a Facebook feed in a Twitter Bootstrap site? I have a site that uses the Facebook feed that currently does not use Bootstrap. Curious to know what issues and advice anyone has about it. The feed is but so flexible; I've had issues with fitting it in the current site.
Thanks in advance.
Got some bad news for you. Most Facebook embeddable items are <iframe>'s. That means Facebook is in complete control of the look, feel and behavior of the content. Because of the same origin policy you can't even use Javascript to attempt to force styles upon the <iframe>.
Facebook does give you some basic options like width, height and color scheme when you embed it. If you're looking for 100% control and customization you probably want to look into the Graph API instead.
I am working on a Flex AS3 application and wanted to add the Facebook Like button inside the app. I am unable to find any API or anything apart from the http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like code generator.
Any ideas on how this might be accomplished? I am quite new to the recent changes in the Facebook Platform, so any info would be appreciated.
A direct "like" button should not be possible, since Facebook needs to sandbox the whole thing. Both like button formats (iframe and xfbml) use a sandboxed iframe, so nobody but facebook can set "likes" or know anything about the user.
For that to work with Flash, I think facebook would have to provide the button itself as a SWF file so you can load it in Flash. Then it can create a sandbox within itself and thus load the user information safely. Very much like the Chromeless Youtube Player, where it's almost impossible for Flash to access the actual FLV URL (even through introspection).
But even so, I don't think this would provide enough security... realize that you are dealing with very private user information and credentials here.
The only way I know you can "like" stuff through Flash is first doing the whole Facebook Connect thing (several popup windows asking the user for permissions) and then using the API of your choice to do the actual "liking", for instance, with the Graph API:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api#publishing
The closest information I could find are these 2 items so far. Hope it helps you in your journey.

Facebook like button in flash
I hate answering "no" to a question because what I really mean is "I don't know and I can't find a way". I'm sure your Google-fu is as good as mine. All I can see are Facebook forum posts like this where people are asking the same question and no one is answering.
The examples they give of the like button are either embedded in iFrames or using XFBML <fb:like ../> tag. There are no examples of how to like something using their new graph api or either of their old APIs (FQL and REST API).
I had to get a Facebook like button in a html page (looked like a header on the top) and get the swf embedded below. As its a complete flex app in my case, this work around was possible and plausible
