Question

Is there any sharing link for facebook that only requires a textual status, not like the sharer which needs a url.

What i want is like the twitter.com/?status=___ but for facebook.

The reason is that when i even put a url in the sharer, the title is overwritten with the real page url which is not good for me.

Thanks

You need to add metadata to your live page in order to specify a title, description and image. Facebook scans for appropriate content on the shared URL, but it takes time to update on the server — so make sure you’ve got the content right the first time!

<meta property="og:title" content="title" />
<meta property="og:description" content="description" />
<meta property="og:image" content="thumbnail_image" />
