Sharing any LessWrong post on Facebook results in the text, "Less Wrong is a community blog devoted to refining..." and no actual text from the LW post. We should provide the actual initial sentences of the article to whatever kind of query Facebook sends.

This has been fixed, but Facebook caches what it scrapes for 24 hours, so the descriptions of recently shared/liked posts may not update immediately (source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ , "When does Facebook scrape my page?" section)

To see the effect of the changes, you can paste an article url like http://lesswrong.com/lw/id2/to_what_degree_do_you_model_people_as_agents/ into the form at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug .
