Items shared from Drupal to Facebook, Myspace does not contain node title, teaser, or thumbnail.

A few others have been experiencing this. See link below we assumed it was an issue with the 'AddThis Module'.
But even when content is directly shared on facebook (posting a link on your profile) the post title, teaser or image isn't pulled.
Anyone know what can be done to rectify this?
I'm on the Marinelli theme but its not a theme related issue - it wont work on Garland either.
Any help is appreciated - thanks in advance.

I have had the same problem.
I am having the same problem on a Drupal 6 site.
I haven't had time to dig into it so if anyone has any more info on this issue that would be great.

Generally the user will never bother editing the submission and typing stuff in. Basically means that Drupal sites are missing out on Facebook exposure.
Anything to do with Drupal's page compression you reckon?

here is something interesting. i am using domain module to manage a number of sites. if i try and use facebook share on one of the secondary sites, i get the error described above:
http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://allforthetaking.org/node/418
for: http://allforthetaking.org/node/418
but if i use the base domain, it works:
http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://mediamobilizing.org/node/418
for http://mediamobilizing.org/node/418
i'll look into this more as i get a chance.

Thanks looking forward to
Thanks looking forward to your findings. Everyone is loosing out on promoting their content on Facebook, they just don't know it yet. A huge drawback in Drupal to be honest. I hope more people draw attention to this thread.
Ok did a little digging up
Ok did a little digging up and Facebook on this page says:
Hilal, interesting name
Hilal, interesting name :)
Yes, i am also working on this problem, spent about 5 hours and still havent solved
Using garland:
Image and content are pulled into Facebook
TITLE is not
see http://almuslimin.net
BUT, no problem like this with a SUBDOMAIN
see http://almuslimin.net/JODOH
*I noticed difference between sharer.php and share.php (facebook)
*also the URL , example:
http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Falmuslimin.net%2FALLAH...
See that the title at the end of the URL. But why doesnt FB get the title?
@the same problem whether you are using:
AddtoAny module for Drupal
Manual insertion of `Share in Facebook' script
ServiceLinks module for Drupal
Using three different BROWSERS (Firefox, IE, Safari)
Whereas, if you use Facebook Comment (Facebook Connect plus comment): if you comment on a node individually, your comment, the title, and the link will get displayed in your FB home/profile
***update:
just now, i tried again (indivudual node), and the title plus image thumbnail got into fb, and i could even change the `title'.
Title + thumbnail + content are nicely displayed
But instead of displaying the URL, it now displays, below the title:
Source: yourdomain.com
