Za miesiąc kończy mi się umowa na internet światłowodowy w Orange. Nie chcę już światłowodu, bo nie wiem ile jeszcze będę najmował to mieszkanie. Jaki więc internet 5G (mobilny, nie światłowód) polecacie? (Warszawa)
Facebook Meta - like many other tech titans - has institutional Shiny Object Syndrome. It goes something like this:
Launch a product to great fanfare
Spend a few years hyping it as ✨the future✨
Stop answering emails and pull requests
If you're lucky, announce that the product is abandoned but, more likely, just forget about it.
Open Graph Protocol (OGP) is one of those products. The value-proposition is simple.
It's hard for computers to pick out the main headline, image, and other data from a complex web page.
Therefore, let's encourage websites to include metadata which tells our services what they should look at!
OGP works pretty well! When you share a link on Facebook, or Twitter, or Telegram - those services load the website in the background, look for OGP metadata, and display a friendly snippet.
Facebook Meta were the driving force behind OGP - and have now left it to fester.
And, that might be fine. Facebook Meta are a small company with limited resources. They can't afford to fund standards work indefinitely. And, anyway, OGP is complete, right? It has all the tags that anyone could ever possibly want. Why does it need any improving?
This is annoying for developers. Now we have to write multiple different bits of metadata if we want our links to be supported on all platforms.
Standards work is never "finished". Developers want to add new features. Users want to interact with new forms of content.
Tomorrow someone is going to invent a way to share smells over the Internet. How does that get represented in an Open Graph Protocol compliant manner?
<meta property="twitter:olfactory" content="C₃H₆S"> or <meta property="facebook:nose" content="InChIKey/MWOOGOJBHIARFG-UHFFFAOYSA-N"> or <meta property="og:smell" content="pumpkin spice"> or...
We know from bitter experience that having several mutually incompatible ways to implement something is a nightmare for developers and provides a poor user-experience.
So we create standards bodies. They're not perfect, but a group of interested folks can do the hard work to try and satisfy oppositional stakeholders.
This is my plea to Facebook Meta. If you're no longer interested in improving OGP, OK. You do you. But hand it over to people who want to keep this going. Maybe it's the W3C, or IndieWeb, or Schema.org or someone. Hell, I'm not busy, I'll take it on.
