they said: "biggest issue with minds on our end is about 1/5th of the time the title doesn't pull correctly. when this happens i just don't post the article.. also it seems to pull the SEO title for google (usually shortened) over the social media or website title, which isn't a problem.. but generally the social media/website title is stronger."

I think this is iframely is not reading their header title properly.

The title in the example link is present in the sites header, and Embedly does work and read it properly.

As Ben previously stated, this issue is with iframely, which seems to be retrieving the value for the twitter:title meta tag vs og:title. I created an github issue for this.

Re-opening as its still an issue either we could look at forking and fixing, or they could fix, and we can track the paper-trail.

I've relayed this response to the creators. @eiennohi what do you think the next step is? Do we contact the yoast people? https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo This is the tool all the wordpress sites are using.
