just curious when you post a link to facebook they seem to parse out some images and some text regarding that link. Does anyone have a guess as to how they determine what text and images to show?

NOTE: If you're still creating status posts on Facebook, remember that placing links can downgrade your engagement from an average of 0,48% to an average of 0,11%.
Insights provide information about your Page's performance, like demographic data about your audience and how people are responding to your posts.
Go to your Facebook page and click on ”Audience Insights” at the top menu. Pick the Overview tab and then the Export Data. A pop-up box will then appear with 3 data types available, and you should select Post Data.
It uses the head title for the title, meta description for description, and pulls any images (excluding background images) that are no more than 3:1 in proportion, allowing the poster to choose. Developers of the page in question can specify a single image to use on a per-page basis by using a tag as such:
<link rel="image_src" href="/your/image/file" />
(If this image declaration is used, it overrides the selection of other images on the page)
Also, with the recent adoption of the Open Graph Protocol, developers can now define the title, description, and associated image a different way:
<meta property="og:title" content="Page Title" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Page Description" />
<meta property="og:image" content="/path/to/image" />
Personally, I've found the latter to be helpful in case you want search engines to use one page title (the head title) and Facebook to use a different one (Open Graph title).
