Takeaway: Open Graph was originally created by Facebook in order to give the user some control over how information is presented when shared to Facebook. This is done by adding Open Graph meta tags, such as the title, type of content, image, and url. The use has expanded well passed Facebook, and is used by other main platforms like Google+, LinkedIn, and Twitter (who first checks for it’s own Twitter Card version then uses Open Graph).
