Heya,
The tweetmeme-title meta attribute doesn't seem to be working for us - eg the page http://audioboo.fm/boos/74430-internet-freedom has a tweetmeme-title of "Internet Freedom!", but gets RT'd as "AudioBoo / Internet freedom!".
What am I missing?

Hi There,
The title is taken from your site metadata, if this is not set then the content will appear blank.
Many thanks
Sarah
Hi Jonathan,
The problem you are having is that your meta tags use single-quotes (') instead of double-quotes (") for the attribute values. This is technically not correct HTML, however, our systems should be lenient enough to detect this.
I have fixed this problem on our side in the development version, but it may be some time before this makes it out to the live site. If you want this to be resolved immediately, I suggest you change the single quotes in your meta tag attribute names to double quotes.
Heya,
I'm reasonably sure single & double-quoted attributes are allowed in (x)html4/5 (eg http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2) , but good to hear it'll be tweaked either way.
Thanks for the help

Hi Nick,
I'm having the same problem on my site, with the tweetmeme-title tag being ignored, and I am using double-quotes.
Hi Jonathan,
You're right, you caught me out! That'll teach me from attempting to recite standards purely from memory. ;-)
I have made the change nevertheless and it will see the light of day on our production site in the coming weeks.
Mark, can you please give me a URL to a page on your site that is not working as expected and I can look in to it for you.
Hi - has this change gone live yet? eg http://audioboo.fm/boos/81915-absynth-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder still gets rt'd with an 'Audioboo' prefix.
Hi Jonathan,
The fix has now gone live however Nick is currently on annual leave to provide you with additional support. I would recommend pinging our servers to enforce an update http://tweetmeme.com/ping.php
This should cause us to request an update on the Title and related content. If this still doesn't fix the problem then you also have your meta title set to include the Audioboo prefix.
Many thanks
Sarah
Ohh, thanks - think it's ok after re-pinging your servers.
Fantastic, I'll close this thread down. If you see any other issues feel free to open a new thread.
Thanks!
Sarah
