Implementing Pinterest On Site and Social Snippets

[Mattcarter08]

Hi can someone confirm, does Pinterest use Open Graph Protocol?

If you use the Pinterest Widget builder - http://business.pinterest.com/widget-builder/#do_pin_it_button

Will the image you place in the widget replace the image Pinterest selects if it does use the Open Graph Protocol?

The site already uses Open Graph Protocol for Facebook and Google+. It also uses Twitter cards for twitter. It would be good if we don't need to add more html (such as from the Pinterest widget builder) for Pinterest.

As far as I know, the pin it button uses the image you give in the attribute. And if there's no image there, it will let you choose from all the images they find in the page.

Another question i forgot to ask - if you're implementing a social media share widget (such as: http://sharethis.com/publishers/get-sharing-tools) which included: facebook, twitter, google plus, etc Do you have to still create and add Open Graph Protocols e.g. og:url, og:url, og:image ?

Thanks,

Matt
