Is there something similar to the following to share custom text on facebook timelines?

There's the sharer, this is an example link

Edit: Besides sharing links with customized names or descriptions, there's no possibility to change the post message. It worked about 2 years ago AFAIK, but got removed by Facebook. Even using the Feed Dialog, you can't customize the message.

I'm new to Facebook Sharing API. When I put the Facebook Share button in my website, both the message and the title are the URL. Here's the screenshot:
There's even no thumbnails even though there's plenty of pictures in the page.
I have seen other pages that automatically use the first paragraph as the Facebook's message
Is there any specific site layout that I must follow?
Note: I'm using AddThis, so I don't think I can change the code
Thanks
The problem solved when I uploaded the site on Online server. Maybe the API has problem retrieving data from Localhost.
Cheers :)
I have created my website using wordpress 3.4.1 and, I tried sharing my webpage in facebook. I do not get any thumbnail or the basic blog description in the facebook post. Instead I get "No Title". I know this question has been asked a number of times in wordpress forums. But, most of them are leading to dead ends. Can some one help me in this regard.
PS: I tried using the facebook debugger (http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) I get the following
Error Parsing URL: Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped.
You need to add OpenGraph tags to your page, or even easier, finf a WordPress plugin to do it for you. Run the page through the debugger again and the issues should be fixed.
Just like what Niraj said you need to make sure you have the open graph meta tags on your blog. Here is a plugin which will add them http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-open-graph-meta/.
I have wordpress blog with twentyeleven theme setup. I have facebook button and I beleive all facebook garph api codes are exist in head part. Now the problem is there are more than 4 images exist on the page, but facebook like button only fetching one image everytime. And trust me that is a huge problem for me.
Can someone help me fix the issue.
here is the link if you wanna take a look at: http://j.mp/GSfWKb

While I can't confirm this is how Facebook approaches it, the og: meta tags only appear to work for actual like buttons, not Facebook sharing buttons (which are depreciated anyway).
According to this question you can try and put in a link tag and that may work for the share button you have. Facebook Post Link Image
The Documentation from facebook isn't understandable, atleast for me.
I have never worked before with facebook and had a basic requirement of putting a like button on Product pages.
So yesterday, I added the OpenGraph meta tags and like button to my Product pages as stated in this documentation, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/. I also created an app, as the document stated that it has extended the basic meta data to add a required field to connect your webpage with Facebook: fb:app_id.
The like button has been set but i have few queries which are as following :-
For some pages, the like button doesn't read the og tags. Rather than publishing the whole thing in a story manner by reading og tags, it just shows a link. During googling, I read it happens because of facebook caching and since, I shared the link on facebook before putting the meta-tags, this is happening. So, Is there any way that I can direct facebook to reset all the caching for my pages or scraping that it has done earlier.
Though I have created the App, I actually have no idea what to do with it. Why is it needed and what matters it can help me with.
I tested one of my URLs here: Facebook Linter but it shows some error and stuff which i can't understand. Below is the image. Please tell if I have done anything wrong and why it's showing these errors
Documentation for OpenGraph on Facebook containing outdated information about pre-defined types, see OpenGraph Types. You probably need to define your custom Object Type "Product" in for your Application/Site using Developer Application in Open Graph settings.
You may want to read Documentation for OpenGraph beta too.
Update:
There is a similar question about exactly this og:type: Opengraph meta tag og:type set to “product” errors (like button & URL linter/debug)
Why is that when I press "like" or "tweet" and even "+1" button on one post of my blog, it is also applied to all post even when I am not pressing the like button on other post. Do you think it is my html/javascript code who gave this problem or bug?
Thank you,
first check the og: tags are correctly specified in the HTML. You can use Facebook's free linter tool to check and ensure they're correct: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Also, it would be more helpful to us to help you if you provided some sample links and also code you're using to accomplish this.
If you are using blogger, then instead of using the code provided by Facebook(which is static), you have to use a dynamic version which will generate the FBML tags appropriately.Similar is the case with twitter and G+. Here are the links to the those.
