Some websites (eg. imgur.com) don't have OGP tags but they do indicated an image associated with the page using image_src meta tag.
Facebook.com's oEmbed also falls back on this if OGP data isn't available (stackoverflow).

Looks like a good idea to me.

It's be great if we can also build in a graceful degradation to the first image on the page if nothing else is available.

@scottmac Thoughts on pulling this in?

@AramZS I've also been thinking about such fallback, so I've opened up a separate issue to discuss that: #11
