When I paste a URL into the “What should your network know?” box (similar to the Facebook’s status box), it pulls data from my site, and populates a box below with a Title, URL, an a bit of text.
The text it’s pulling, though, is from my right rail of events, not the main article.
Is there a way to specify or let it know what info you think it should pull?
LinkedIn also supports a subset of the Open Graph tags used by Facebook to provide metadata about the page. This is documented here:
https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/setting-display-tags-shares
Note, however, that the LinkedIn scraper caches page data when a page is shared. It is supposed to re-scrape pages every week to look for more information beyond what’s in the cache, but the re-scraping is not currently (as of late April 2012) working correctly – this means you need to change the page name or try cache-busting with fake query parameters to get it to re-read your page.
