How to Share the Meta Title in a Meebo Tweet
To share meta title information in a Meebo tweet, modifications have to be made to the embedded code that you inserted into your Web page or blog when installing the Meebo bar. The “makeSharable” function sets the basic metadata that is passed to a sharing service, such as Twitter. Adding the “makeSharable” function, along with the “title” command, to the Meebo embedded code makes it possible to share the meta title in a Meebo tweet.

Log into your website server or blog. Access the HTML code for the Web page that contains the Meebo embedded code you inserted into your website or blog.

Replace the “<HTML” at the top of the page with the following:
<html ... xmlns:meebo="http://www.meebo.com"> -

Insert the following function just before the closing “</script>” tag and just after the “({network:"YOUR_NETWORK_ID"});” command in the Meebo embedded code:
<meebo:makeSharable
meebo:title="ENTER THE TITLE"
meebo:URL="ENTER THE WEB PAGE URL"
<div>
</div>
</meebo:makeSharable> -

Look to see if your Meebo embedded code contains the “Meebo: tweet” function. If this function is contained in the embedded code, delete it. According to the “What is Meebo Sharing API” information -- found in “Doc," "Sharing API Documentation” and then “makeSharable” section of your Meebo dashboard -- when the tweet function is used “a share to Twitter will contain only the tweet text and the URL.” The tweet command overrides the title share function.
