OpenGraph implementation

Title:
OpenGraph implementation

Area:
frontend, accessibility, cross-site data sharing

Summary:
It would be nice if sites, that use OpenGraph metadata, could use our provided data, instead of crawling the page in question and collecting arbitrary data (article image, article title, author, etc.)

Description:
Sites that support OpenGraph Protocol (http://ogp.me/), like Facebook and Google+ would benefit from already provided data; that would help those sites 1) categorize that data (entry title, tags), 2) provide correct information, when posting to FB or G+ (title, image), instead of full page title (username | post, for example).

Example - http://skakri.grab.lv/2360053.html (check source; done: profile username, entry image, entry title, publishing date and used tags). Could be implemented also in profile pages - user.domain.tld/profile
