Why use go:title etc...

I've just seen this in the meta data of a website:
<meta property="og:title" content="foobar...
There's loads of them… go:description… go:audio… go:keywords… and so on
Apparently it's to do with open graph and Facebook which I don't fully understand, but why use it and what are the advantages? I've googled it, but I'm finding little ore than what I already mentioned. Just wondering if anybody here knew a little more detail than the info I've found.
Thanks.

From this page - Facebook Content Sharing Best Practices
I read:
Use proper Open Graph tags
Open Graph tags are included in your page’s HTML and allow the Facebook Crawler to generate previews when your content is shared on Facebook.
We give examples below, but the basic Open Graph tags you should implement are:
og:title – The title of your article, excluding any branding.
og:site_name - The name of your website. Not the URL, but the name. (i.e. "IMDb" not "imdb.com".)
og:url – This URL serves as the unique identifier for your post. It should match your canonical URL used for SEO, and it should not include any session variables, user identifying parameters, or counters. If you use this improperly, likes and shares will not be aggregated for this URL and will be spread across all of the variations of the URL. 
og:description – A detailed description of the piece of content, usually between 2 and 4 sentences. This tag is technically optional, but can improve the rate at which links are read and shared.
etc.

    Why can´t I use word,excel etc after upgrading too OS X Lion ?

    Office 2004 is a PowerPC app that requires Rosetta to run. Roseeta and thus all PPC aps are not supported on Lion. Further Office 2008's Installer is a PPC app. Office 2008 will run if installed before installing Lion, but you cannot install it from Original Office 2008 Media after installing Lion.

    As far as functionality goes, I don't see anything wrong. when it comes to efficiency you need to keep some general pointers in mind. These issues which I'm bringing up will not affect your code currently since your array sizes are small but can start creating memory fragmentaion and slow down the software if your array sizes are much larger and the software runs for a long period of time.
    1. Try not to use Build Array. Each time you use a built array labview creates a copy in the memory. Try to initilized your arrays and replace the subsets.
    2. as much as you can try not index arrays or unbundle cluster multiple times. try to perform as many tasks as possbile in one shot. (this was evident in your second loop)
    Besides that it's looking good. 
    I made a few modifications to your code and attached it. I wanted to give you a different take on it as it relates to being able to control the inputs and outputs programitically, if you had a look up table. I didn't make the same modifications to your second loop but I can guide you through what needs to be done if you would like to move in this direction. Again your original code is well done for someone who is new to labview so don't feel like you need to follow the new VI design. Just try to remove the build array and multiple indexing as a good programming habbit.

  • First podcast uploaded with the wrong title? It is using the title of one of the podcasts and not showing the name only of the speaker?

    I uploaded 7 podcasts using Podomatic. iTunes is using the titles of one of the podcasts as the title for the page. I need to change the page title and also remove my name (not sure why my name was posted instead of the name of the podcast speaker). Do I need to delete the whole Album and start over, or can I edit the title? https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/accelerating-your-due-season/id659519611. Thanks for help. This is my first time doing this.

    iTunes is simply reproducing what is in the relevant tags in the feed:
    <title>Attracting the Glory - Dr. Russell Plilar</title>
    <itunes:author>Maureen Brichetto</itunes:author>
    You need to change them in Podomatic wherever you originally entered the data and republish the feed. The Store should pick up the changes after a couple of days or so, though it's possible it might not do so until you post a new episode.

  • What Characters Cannot Be Used In Titles In An XML File?

    Forgive me for asking what I feel like should be an easy question to answer on my own.  I am Googling and cannot seem to find it anywhere, though I remember reading it at one time.  I know that if I type an ampersand (&) in one of my podcast titles that the XML file will not function correctly until I remove the ampersand and replace it with the word "and."  I am wondering if this happens with the question mark character (?).  I would like to title one of my podcasts as a question, but would like to avoid the hassle ahead of time.  What symbols can I not use in titles/summaries in my XML file, and is there a way to use these symbols in titles/summaries without confusing the XML file?

    You are fine with question marks, commas, colons and semi colons, underscores, hyphens and exclamation points as long as they are within tage such as 'title' and 'itunes:subtitle'. As you say you must not have an ampersand by itself anywhere because it's used in XML to indicate the start of a code sequence which is then never completed. You can use the code
    &amp;
    instead, or indeed the workd 'and' of course.
    Diacriticals - é, ü etc - are OK as long as you type them directly into the feed or whatever is making it. For more unusual characters see this page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#commonmistakes
    and scroll down to 'Using Named HTML Character Entitities'.
    As Robert says, never construct your text in a word processor and copy it in; this way you may embed invisible control codes; and quote marks are likely to be 'smart quotes' ('curtly quotes'). Either of these will wreck your feed completely.

  • Why Using Top Link is best in DB Adapter?

    Hi All,
    Can any one suggest , Why Using Top Link (Build-in Insert, Select etc. operation) is best in DB Adapter over using custom query?
    Thanks

    Hi Vikky,
    for insert/select it depends on what kind of user you are. TopLink lets you browse and click on a tables and have everything generated for you. If you are more a DBA or show me the SQL type then you can just type SQL directly.
    Some advantages of TopLink would be:
    -The range of SQL generated by TopLink is limited, but if you hard code complex SQL into your service you need to maintain it.
    -TopLink can generate at runtime the correct SQL for a given database, making switching from say DB2 to Oracle easy.
    -The merge operation will compare the input XML to the columns on the database and update only what has changed. It can also do a sparse merge. If only 4 columns in the XML were set, only those 4 columns in the database will be updated.
    -For inbound polling the strategy used (LogicalDelete, Sequencing Table, etc) is a configuration property and then at runtime multiple SQL statements are generated. The SQL also takes advantage of advanced syntax like the Oracle-only FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, writing it all yourself may be tedious and error prone.
    -The main benefit of TopLink is when you go beyond thinking about a single table. If you import multiple related tables at once, TopLink will generate the SQL to select from and maintain multiple tables, establish a commit order, and generate a hierarchical XSD. With custom SQL the matching XSD is always flat. I.e. if you just need to insert an emp you could get away with custom SQL. If you need to insert a dept and emps, I would use TopLink.
    -This is also when the intermediary abstraction of an object/table makes more sense, as you only need to import a complex relational schema once, then generate inserts, selects, etc.
    So I hope that helps. They are each equally viable and can do something that the other can't. Where you see an overlap I would go with personal preference.
    Thanks

  • Can't drag windows around using the title bar-CS4

    I just upgraded to CS4 at work last week and I'm already regretting it. Firstly, using two monitors, CS4 must like my graphics card becasue as soon as I open a document and it begins to render the window, the main monitor loses it's signal and cuts off. So I have to hard shut down and make my 2nd monitor the main one, open CS4 and a file on that monitor, then make it the 2nd monitor and pass it over to my real first monitor with a file open and make that monitor the main one again. Added to that, randomly, files will open as tabs even though I have the option unchecked in prefs. I hate tabs, I want my windows floating. But I digress.
    My current issue is the file windows are not movable using the title bar. I can expand/contract every side grabbing the edge, but clicking, holding and dragging any of the title bar is ineffective. I can drag to tab to undock it, but once floating, the title bar is non-funtional for grabbing. I can also double click on it to tab, just not to drag.
    I use a mac at home and thankfully Adobe hasn't forced the edge to edge palette background on that platform. On the mac we get a 'classic view' or something that does away with the desktop blocking grey window background. Seriously, I can't stand the full screen look. Why can't windows have that option to have just the menu bar, palettes and file windows allowing the desktop to be visible? /rant

  • Why use customized / particular exceptions instead java.lang.Exception

    Hi,
    Do any of you guys know where can I find a theorical statement / explanation about why use particular / customized exceptions instead java.lang.Exception? I am aware that it consumes more resources and becomes a heavier object, as well as the clearness when coding and all that stuff; however, my boss wants to see a tech document where all this is clearly stated. Any resource over there?
    Regards

    It is better to throw specific--or at least module- or
    package-specific--excpetions, rather than Exception,
    because then the caller knows what to expect. However,
    if you declare "throws Exception", the caller can
    still catch IOException, SQLException, etc.,
    separately. He'll just have to be a really good
    guesser as to which ones he should catch.True.
    Also, there's no point in declaring "throws
    NullPointerException." Any method can throw it without
    declaring it. If you generate your own NPE (or other
    unchecked exception) inside the method, then you
    should document it in the javadoc comments, but you
    don't need to put it in the throws clause. It doesn't
    do any harm, but it's redundant and cluttersome.It was an example and I wasn't feeling too creative....excuse me. ;-) But yeah, I've never thrown NPE ever.
    I'm assuming overhead caused by extending classes.At
    the worst, it would be miniscule, or so I wouldthink.
    What overhead is created by extending classes?Hmm, I was under the impression that a class the extended another class, inherited all of the other classes data (variables, etc.). Hence, you get something like this:
    SuperClass1 + SubClass1 + SubClassOfSubcCass1 = Memory usuage for SubClassOfSubClass1.
    Since adding postivie number will always end up increasing data, SubClassOfSubClass1 will use more dtat than SuperClass1.
    Am I wrong?

  • Why use XML

    I can't find any true tangible benefits to using XML
    to transfer data from legacy systems, in comparison to say, using an external file and loading into existing
    schema objects, which we do use.
    We have 4-6 internal systems, and many many external systems, that currently use text or DB links to transfer data around, and of course the manager hears the catch-phrase-of-the-day XML, all time time and wants us to use it. We do a lot of complicated reading of the files, i.e. headers and multiple layers of detail (header & detail lines can have infinite detail lines)
    Can somebody offer up why use XML? (white pages, something I can get proof with) or why not to use it.
    To me, completly different layer of technology, everybody has a "standard", nobody has the same standard.
    More storage in the database (being a DBA I don't like this), and seems to need its own full time employee to manage it (the IT director won't like that).

    SO... you STILL have to get what the file looks like... can't be read from inside the file (like a decent CSV), hasn't somebody realized that keep layout seperate from the data during outside transfers is stupid?
    I understand the tags etc, I guess because disk is free, and networks are faster, lets clog them up with useless info <the tags>. I have loaded/extracted XML from the database (what a PITA that is) before I asked this question.
    My question is, can somebody please point me in a direction of the benefits of using XML to transfer data between systems.
    Why use XML? Why is XML better than a CSV (or formatted text file)????
    What benefits does it have over those file types??
    A great list of pro/cons would be nice... everything on oracle web sites, and google say all basically say the same thing... "use it because it's new and neat"
    Why should we spend hundreds of man hours reinventing the wheel?
    What tangible benefits are there to using it?
    Might be the wrong forum, if so, please point me in the right direction.

    Hello Tarpon471,
    It sounds like your desktop is otherwise colored normally, but the colors in iTunes are inverted. I was thinking it is possible that a 3rd party plugin may be causing an issue with iTunes since the upgrade to Mavericks.

  • Chromium + kde, "Use System Title Bar and Borders" issue

    Using chromium 19.0.1084.56, I have an issue with kde. My current window has no system border. But if I open a new window, the system border appears for that new window. I have to toggle on and off again "Use System Title Bar and Borders" for it to go away.
    Am I the only one?

    3. You then "have to toggle [the option] on and of again" to make "'it' go away."
    So, do you want the titlebar or not?  It isn't clear what you want, since you seem to be complaining about both having and not having titlebars.  If you want them on, then do they stay on from one session to the next?  If you don't want them on, why turn them on?  If you do want them on, why toggle them back off?
    I don't want the system titlebar. 
    the window on the bottom is my current one, the one on the top is when I open a new window.

  • Why Use Flex?

    Hello Flex Forum,
    I must admit some curisoity about Flex. Seems Adobe is really
    pushing it. Kind of reminds me of FoxPro and Access. There are so
    many differerent ways to do things web-wise these days, I am
    wondering why a developer might choose Flex over Flash
    (actionscript), or some of the other (like dojo) language or
    environment that does similar things. I am currently working on an
    e-learning project that need to be CD based, because the company I
    work for cannot support a server to allow users from outside the
    firewall (I work for an Aerospace company) to access "intranet"
    based training where Captivate, Flash, and even Flex based apps are
    designed to run best.
    I would be interested in any rationale for the use of Flex,
    its strong points and weak points, etc.
    Thanks,
    eholz1

    I'd ask: why use slow, browser dependent, bug prone, outdated
    Ajax hacks or old-school generated HTML when you have Flex as an
    alternative. I'd rather give up and become a sleeping mall security
    guard than devolve to Ajax hackery.
    Flex weak points? I'd say printing and reporting is the #1
    that I can think of ATM, but of course competing technologies don't
    do any better. They still rely on the same crummy tools and
    techniques that Flex apps often seem to call on. And for
    reporting/printing when your requirements are pretty simple, Flex
    can probably deal with it natively anyway, to boot.
    We're using a hybrid approach for reporting. Flex charting
    and interactivity (good luck doing this as well Ajax hackers) is
    great for small summary reporting, and simple table data can be
    printed from inside Flex. For larger/bulky and more complex reports
    we call on a servlet which uses a 3rd party reporting tool to
    generate PDFs.
    Flex integrates with a ton of other technologies pretty well.
    You can also install a Flex app using AIR, which basically makes it
    a standalone client application on your workstation. This could be
    the ultimate bandwidth saver (no swf OR html/js transmitted), if
    you don't mind the less convenient deployment method. AMF is much
    faster than the crappy protocols Ajax uses.
    BTW, running on an intranet is not going to be a problem, as
    long as Flash 9 or higher is deployed everywhere, or users are
    permitted to install it using an internal server download. It
    doesn't need to come from Adobe's server off the internet..
    BUT, Adobe better not get too confident here. MS and
    Silverlight are doing to be tough competition, and I'll switch if
    it steals the lead in maturity. JavaFX is junk, and too late to the
    game, it'll fail. ^_^ I guess Ajax could even become less crummy,
    but some of it's downsides will never be resolved.

    If you want the title to be the new file name export with the option to use the title as the new file name see highlight to far left:
    If you want the title to be inluded with the file so another photo application can read that title like iPhoto would use the option to include Title and Keywords. But this method will require an applicaiton that can read the iPTC fields that will contain the title.
