Looks like a lot of work, especially if you have many products. The coding for oEmbed seems reasonably straightforward, tho.

I'm up for collaborating on this if you are, Metz...

daviswe - Any idea which is better... oEmbed or Facebook Open Graph? Pinterest says it handles both.

I'm interested in looking at Share42, AddThis or ShareThis to add to the site.
 
Share42 seems the easiest
-- Simple web designer
-- download a JS file
-- insert two lines of code
 
Biggest issue I have for all is pulling the correct data for the page I am on to push to their code.

Exactly, dmoz! I have implemented AddThis, but the facebook especially doesn't pull correct info. From what I can tell (and I know just enough to screw things up) we need to have face opengraph protocol implemented. I don't know how to do that. Initial quote for doing this was $200, but since it wasn't completely clear what was needed, that could definitely go up.

not sure about Pinterest
 
But I know FB needs (to be confirmed - im working on it now) special 'og' tags - especially for any images to be referenced for the post.

Hi
 
I just wondered if anyone has figured out how to add Pinterest to the products on Viart?
 
Thanks
