Improving Pages twitter linkage

A great new feature of IPS4 Pages application would be automatic assignment of twitter card.

 

https://dev.twitter.com/cards/types/summary-large-image

 

Ideally it would use the feature image from the article. 

 

Here is the sample code twitter gives to make this happen....

 

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@nytimes">
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@SarahMaslinNir">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Parade of Fans for Houston’s Funeral">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="NEWARK - The guest list and parade of limousines with celebrities emerging from them seemed more suited to a red carpet event in Hollywood or New York than than a gritty stretch of Sussex Avenue near the former site of the James M. Baxter Terrace public housing project here.">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2012/02/19/us/19whitney-span/19whitney-span-articleLarge.jpg">

 

So whenever anyone tweets a link to your page, it automatically pulls the image and summary with it, making the click through rate on that tweet much higher.
