Open Graph/Twitter Cards

[jayoliverwright]

Hi Guys,

Quick question is there any benefit/point in setting up FB Open Graph and Twitter Cards for sites which don't have the tags but have social sharing buttons which correctly display the social snippets/descriptions

Example: http://tinyurl.com/jaowtkd The page has social sharing buttons at the bottom, which show a description for Twitter.

Yes,

Because you then get to control what content summary, image and even headline or keyword is used, not to mention you can customize them based on the url.

This is helpful in general as it makes your brand more consistent throughout social media, consistency = trust.
