 +Server-side should then determine which information to send. All information is contained in ''<​html>''​ and ''<​meta>''​ tags.
  
 **I don't recommend to share the urls in new URL format. A fallback which the server will process and redirect to new URL format is the most reliable solution, as the new URL format may be google-crawlable,​ but support in share snippet may vary.** **I don't recommend to share the urls in new URL format.

 Actually, there is no way to display a snippet for twitter. Therefore, we will leave the "​tweet"​ feature the same as in current tellmaps. Actually, there is no way to display a snippet for twitter. Therefore, we will leave the "​tweet"​ feature the same as in current tellmaps.
  
 +===== OG tags specification =====
 +
 +This OG format is well supported in all three social networks and probably many more. The only exception is missing description in Google+. This is not documented and there is the only information I found in that matter: http://​www.seoskeptic.com/​google-quietly-removes-descriptions-from-snippets/​
 +
 +First, place this into the ''<​html>''​ tag:
 +
 +<code html>
 +<html lang="​en"​ prefix="​og:​ http://​ogp.me/​ns#">​
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Then, according to given social network, provide these META tags:
  
 +<code html>
 +  <meta property="​og:​title"​ content="​This should display as snippet title">​ <!-- can be an item name in tellmaps -->
 +  <meta property="​og:​type"​ content="​website">​ <!-- keep always -->
 +  <meta property="​og:​url"​ content="​full-url-to-given-item"> ​ <!-- this can be without the ?sharing GET param, however most social networks use the shared URL, not this one -->
 +  <meta property="​og:​description"​ content="​snippet description,​ displays under the link and site name">​ <!-- google+ ignores any description -->
 +  <meta property="​og:​image"​ content="​full-path-to-image-1"> ​ <!-- one or multiple images --> ​
 +  <meta property="​og:​image"​ content="​full-path-to-image-2">​
 +  <meta property="​og:​site_name"​ content="​tellmaps.com"> ​ <!-- optional, not found to work well in most networks --> ​
 +</​code>​
