Open Graph Tags
Definition
Specific metadata tags originally created by Facebook that dictate exactly how a webpage looks when a link is shared in iMessage, Slack, Twitter, or Facebook.
Explain Like I'm New
When you paste a link into Slack, it automatically unfurls into a beautiful preview card with an image, title, and description. Open Graph (OG) tags are the hidden data in your HTML that give Slack that image and title.
Real World Example
Ensuring that when your startup's homepage is shared on LinkedIn, it shows a massive, beautiful branding image instead of a broken gray box.
