Benefits of collaborating Internal and external Participation vs collaboration Steps to get collaboration kick started Personal and business impact Finding people to collaborate with Module of the Week Metatag http://drupal.org/project/metatag The Metatag module allows you to automatically provide structured metadata, aka "meta tags", about a website. In the context of search engine optimization, when people refer to meta tags they are usually referring to the meta description tag and the meta keywords tag that may help improve the rankings and display of a site in search engine results. In addition, the module provides support for meta tags (Open Graph Protocol from Facebook, Twitter Cards from Twitter) that allow control of how content appears when shared on social networks.
