'liking' a epsd on fb - pull descriptions into the fb blurb

Postby lajw » Tue Nov 22nd, 2011, 11:45 pm

when someone 'likes' an episode from the episode page with the wee 'like' button it posts it to that person's fb wall.

currently that post on fb pulls the title data for the epsiode as well as the episode picture when it posts to the persons wall, but only gives a generic description of the episode as 'An episode of [show name] on Subcity Radio'

i noticed this from cheesy's wall where he's liked numerous episodes of vitamins and braille:

it'd be more useful & informative if instead of pulling the description as 'an episode of [showname]' the description was the begging of the actual description for the episode. this happens for content on the guardian site (and many others):

giving more description of the content in facebook would likely lead to more people clicking on it and more traffic for everyone. if it's relatively easy to implement could be a good wee tweak.
