At the slight risk of posting a bit too often in these threads - I know of 2 social integrations which allow pictures and one crawler-y piece of metadata:


Facebook OpenGraph tags (just pasted from an app I contributed to, or for some more info there seems to be a reasonable blog post http://www.quicksprout.com/2013/03/25/social-media-meta-tags-how-to-use-open-graph-and-cards/ ):

<!-- Open Graph tags for Facebook --> 
<meta property="og:title" content="Directory of Open Access Journals"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="https://doaj.org" />
<meta property="og:description" content="DOAJ is an online directory that indexes and provides access to quality open access, peer-reviewed journals."/>
<meta property="og:image" content="https://doaj.org/static/doaj/images/logo_square.jpg"/>


Twitter cards with a picture ( https://dev.twitter.com/cards/types/summary-large-image ):

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@nytimes">
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@SarahMaslinNir">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Parade of Fans for Houston’s Funeral">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="NEWARK - The guest list and parade of limousines with celebrities emerging from them seemed more suited to a red carpet event in Hollywood or New York than than a gritty stretch of Sussex Avenue near the former site of the James M. Baxter Terrace public housing project here.">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2012/02/19/us/19whitney-span/19whitney-span-articleLarge.jpg">


DublinCore (DC) metadata - incidentally that seems to already be there on pages, incl. FOSDEM homepage:

<link rel="schema.DC" href="http://purl.org/DC/elements/1.0/" />
<meta name="DC.Title" content="Welcome to FOSDEM 2016"/>
<meta name="DC.Format" content="text/html" />
<meta name="DC.Language" content="en" />
<meta name="DC.Subject" content="FOSDEM 2016" />
<meta name="DC.Rights" content="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/be/" />

Hi all,

Could the website offer a nice main image for usage in social media? If
you share a link to http://fosdem.org/2016 on Twitter, LinkedIn,
Facebook, Google+ and so on, the map of the campus is being shown as
image, which is not the most representable image for the event.

It is possible to indicate in the website (hidden or not) which
picture/logo should be picked up by social media when sharing the link
of the site. Could someone have a go at improving this?

Thanks,

Pander

 Anyone suggestions how this should look like in the webcode? (not sure how different social media pick up stuff from your website as being the "banner or logo" in preview ...).
So I can pass this info on to the website guys?

Regards,

G.
