Since July 18th Facebook prevents users from modifying title, description & image when sharing link posts. This was quite useful for marketing and other use cases when you can't easily update the meta information of a page you would like to share.
Pretty Links is a URL shortener that works around this problem. If you are not happy with the Facebook sharing preview you can enter the URL of the page you want to share and set your own title, description and thumbnail image to be used.
Can I upvote Pretty Links twice? Seriously - this is an awesome product. I was worried about what Facebook's new changes would mean for my posting abilities, and then I found Pretty Links. All I can say is "WOW!"
I'm getting errors right now, but this looks like an awesome, simple tool!
You can also use https://branch.io for this, though obviously not quite as straight-forward. Useful if you're also dealing with mobile apps though.
