When you type in a URL on websites like Facebook and Digg, they automatically pull up a blurb of the website that contains the first few sentances of the site.<p>For example, when typing in cnn.com, the CNN blurb "Breaking news U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News" and the first few sentances on the CNN website automatically appear as well.<p>How is this done? Is there some sort of crawler that goes to the link provided? Thanks all.
I believe what you're talking about is the title of the website.<p>From www.cnn.com<p><html lang="en"><head><title>CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News</title><p>So you could just parse our the title of each site and display that.
