Is there a mod to do this with regular meta tags?

Currently when I share a link from my forums at a non facebook site it defaults to my TLD and basic description...

@xertox : So it works with Facebook ? What meta details you see in seocentro ?
PM me the forum URL.

@sivaganeshk The information appears to be correct in SEOcentro...

Title: 70 Muhammad Ali talks man down from a ledge - 1981 - Fatwillie.Net Forums

Description: 190 Muhammad Ali turns 70 today. Here's some amazing footage of him stopping a suicide attempt in 1981. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNuT...eature=related Happy Birthday Muhammad!

Keywords: 181 muhammad ali, video, muhammad, stopping, footage, attempt, happy, birthday, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knut...eature=related, amazing, suicide, today, talks, ledge, turns

Here's the thing though. When I share a link to twitter or meebo the preview only pulls the info you see in the attachment I provided using the same URL I used in centro.

When I click the twitter button(via AddThis) above the first post - right corner, it shows the Title of the thread in the tweet.

Same goes for me... but if you submit the tweet, it looks like this. One thing I did notice though is that my meta tags are missing some information...

Code:

<meta property="" content="xxxxx" />



<meta property="" content="Fatwillie.Net - Forums" />



<meta property="" content="Media for People Who Like Media" />



<meta property="" content="http://www.fatwillie.net/forum/showthread.php?3749-Yesterdays-SOPA-Blackout-Was-a-Total-Success" />



<meta property="" content="article" />

There is no information in property="" That seems a little odd. Plus there is two more meta tags a little further down.

Code:

<meta name="keywords" content="blackout, sopa, success, relief, support, shifted, http://boingboing.net/2012/01/19/how...kout-affe.html, breathing, total, yesterdays" />



        <meta name="description" content="I'm breathing a sigh of relief now that SOPA support has shifted.

Did you install any other SEO plugins or make changes in header ?
It feels like Twitter , meebo and few others pulls the meta property that is available first on the page.

Try to *undo* any edits in template

I just discovered that changing the facebook_opengraph template makes my meta tags go from this....

Code:

<meta property="fb:app_id" content="xxxxxxx" />



<meta property="og:site_name" content="Fatwillie.Net - Forums" />



<meta property="og:description" content="Media for People Who Like Media" />



<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.fatwillie.net/forum/showthread.php?3749-Yesterdays-SOPA-Blackout-Was-a-Total-Success" />



<meta property="og:type" content="article" />

To this...

Code:

<meta property="" content="xxxxxxx" />



 <meta property="" content="Fatwillie.Net - Forums" />



 <meta property="" content="Media for People Who Like Media" />



 <meta property="" content="http://www.fatwillie.net/forum/showthread.php?3749-Yesterdays-SOPA-Blackout-Was-a-Total-Success" />



 <meta property="" content="article" />

I'm no expert but I am pretty sure it's not supposed to do that... Once I reverted my opengraph template my meta tags returned to normal...

I'm using 4.1.10
