Facebook Title and Description
I'm trying to customize the link, title and description for a Facebook and Twitter share. I got the link to work on both buttons and the title for Twitter, but I can't get the title and description to work for Facebook.
Here is the mobile page where the plugin is: http://orangeconnection.org/s/860/mobile/mobileN.aspx?sid=860&gid=1&pgid=4609&cid=10931#.T-zD63Ax-Lc
Here is the code I'm using:
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook" addthis:title="OSU Watch Party Check In" addthis:description="I checked in at an OSU Alumni Association watch party. Go Pokes!" addthis:url="http://gopok.es/watchosu"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_twitter" addthis:title="I checked in at an @OKStateAlumni watch party. Go Pokes! #OKState" addthis:url="http://gopok.es/watchosu"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=okstatealumni"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

Facebook doesn't work like the other AddThis buttons. Instead of accepting parameters that we pass it, Facebook requests the URL you're sharing and gets the data it displays from the meta and link tags in the header. To control how your page is shared on Facebook you should use OpenGraph tags which are described in Facebook's documentation here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
