Open Graph/Twitter Cards
-
Hi Guys,
Quick question is there any benefit/point in setting up FB Open Graph and Twitter Cards for sites which don't have the tags but have social sharing buttons which correctly display the social snippets/descriptions
Example: http://tinyurl.com/jaowtkd The page has social sharing buttons at the bottom, which show a description for Twitter.

Yes,
Because you then get to control what content summary, image and even headline or keyword is used, not to mention you can customize them based on the url.
This is helpful in general as it makes your brand more consistent throughout social media, consistency = trust.

Is it possible for a twitter user to automate a response to a tweet that I marked as a favorite?
If favorited a tweet of someone I don't know very well and received a response within a few minutes of the tweet asking "where have you been and what are you up to". Seems general enough to be automated and not specific enough for me to think it was personally sent by the user. Thank you.

Why isn't open graph working for this URL?
When I post this URL (http://goo.gl/iDMsJq) to my Facebook page, the image is small, and it isn't pulling the correct description. I checked FB object debugger, and it looks fine - so why isn't it working properly when I post to Facebook? https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthline.com%2Fhealth-slideshow%2Fquit-smoking-timeline

Do twitter profile links in bio pass juice?
Links that are added in the "Website" field in a twitter profile are nofollow. However, links added to the "Bio" section are dofollow. This has to mean these links are passing juice correct?
