 * Proposal: Publicize module must do the same as the Sharing Debugger (Facebook)–
   Card validator (twitter).
    Now, the Publicize and Sharing modules work differently.
   See images:
 * 1) [Publicize: Wrong. Horrible](https://www.almendron.com/compartir/jetpack/error-module/Publicize.jpg).
   Please change the behavior of Publizie on Twitter.
 * 2) [Sharing: All right. Perfect](https://www.almendron.com/compartir/jetpack/error-module/Sharing.jpg).
   This is how the Publizie module should work.
 * 3) [Card validator](https://www.almendron.com/compartir/jetpack/error-module/card.jpg)(
   twitter).

 * Howdy –
 * Can you provide a link to the post from the Publicize example that you shared
   above?

 * Link to image instead of link to post and summary missing

 * Publicize does not currently make use of Twitter Cards. The reason for the decision
   is that third-party Twitter apps (which are incredibly common) cannot display
   Twitter Cards, so we found that including an image instead greatly increased 
   engagement (otherwise it would only be a title and a link in third-party Twitter
   apps).
 * We are, of course, constantly re-evaluating this decision.

 * So … why does the “Sharing” module work differently? Why does the “Sharing” module
   show “Image + Summary” with a link to the post? Why is the “Sharing” module the
   same as the card?

 * The sharing module simply shares a link on the social network as any sharing 
   button would. It does not make use of the social network’s auto-sharing API.

 * But … on Facebook: why does it work well?
 * On Facebook: [“image + summary” = URL to post](https://www.almendron.com/compartir/jetpack/error-module/facebook.jpg)

 * Because Facebook’s API operates quite different from Twitter’s. We have to work
   within the constraints of their provided APIs.

 * I will have to find another plugin. It is obvious that yours does not work 🙁
