For instance, this is used on Facebook to allow any web page to have the same functionality as any other object on Facebook.

Why this plugin?
This plugin was created because we needed an extendable way to render meta tags based on the Open Graph protocol, which would allow to modify the meta tag content rendered or add meta tags when appropriate based on external data.
None of the existing plugins provided a sufficiently flexible way of doing that, among other reasons we needed a solution that would comply with all of these requirements and none of the existing solutions does:
- must be compatible with WordPress 3.5
- must automatically add meta tags for featured images
- must be automated and create sensible meta tag content for each page, we don't want to manually indicate the tag content for every page
- must provide a framework for extension through hooks and filters on every tag, and provide a design that allows other plugins to modify the meta tags in flexible ways
- must not ask to provide your Facebook account details or application ID when there is no need for it
- must not be bloated with features you don't want or need when you simply want Open Graph metatags to be rendered automatically for your pages
