Is there somewhere that describes the content format for meta tags? I look at the module and you can edit say og:image. What do we add to the meta tag manger?

This is what would be added to the meta.tpl file...
<meta property="og:image" content="http://mysite.com.jpg" />

You can add that directly to the meta.tpl file if you want it for every page.

If your using the jrShareThis module, it trys to get the correct image related to the item being shared when showing the item_detail.tpl page so if thats on, you shouldn't need to worry about setting up og:stuff yourself.

Hey Michael! Yeah that is what I already had. I was looking at the meta module and wanted to play around with it. The docs were not very clear, that I saw anyway, of what should be added.

You can add any of the meta tag types in there for individual pages- its handy if you dont know hiw to write the complete meta tag
If you know how to write meta tags its easier (for me) to just add all if them at once using the " add to head section" box
You Will find Share This does not always parse the correct info for FB/Twitter etc- so i keep a template of FB Meta tags on my desktop- fill in the blanks then copy/paste
Lots OF GREAT USES for both tools- i use them daily

You can also add the html markup of your pages for Google using their Structured Data markup helper tool ( a link in your Google Webmaster Tools explains it) Just save the markup as JSON file instead of the MICRODATA ( a drop down lets use choose) then add that JSON code to the head section of the page- works great been using it around 30 days now-I think it will be great for page SEO

when curtis says "add to head section" he's meaning a custom module that allows extra code to be added to the head section of any page. Its not released, if you need that level of fiddle-ability, just say.
