    Guys / Yoast,

    I have set up meta description for each of my articles, yet when outputting the og:description, I am getting an exceptional lenghty paragraph, instead of my desired 140 chars.

    I can’t find any option on my social page to set my og:description as my meta of to limit the excerpt to 140, instead of the current limit of 300.

    And I don’t want to change your code so I won’t have to edit every time you update, because your updates rocks.

    What can be done?

    /**
	 * Output the OpenGraph description, specific OG description first, if not, grab the meta description.
	 */
	public function description() {
		$ogdesc = wpseo_get_value('opengraph-description');

		if ( !$ogdesc )
			$ogdesc = $this->metadesc( false );

		if ( $ogdesc && $ogdesc != '' )
			echo "<meta property='og:description' content='".esc_attr( $ogdesc )."'/>\n";
	}

    Thanks guys / Yoast!
