Facebook launched the Open Graph Protocol nearly 1 year ago to power the Like button. On average 10% of all web search results have Open Graph markup, with many other companies consuming it, in addition to Facebook. Not bad for a 1 year old protocol.

Join the lead developer, Paul Tarjan, for a discussion about the design decisions, tips and tricks, and where the future of the Open Graph Protocol is headed.
