I'm looking to build into a website user contributed links that would post like facebook's links with a specified word limit of text grab and option of thumbnail from images on the page. I'd like to make it as easy as possible for users to contribute relevant links to the website and facebook's links are so incredibly simple. The problem is I'm not wishing for simply video to be submitted, I'm more looking for people to link to relevant articles so grabbing text would be the most important.
So would this take a team of expert coders to create something like this as facebook would surely have on hand or is there something publicly available with this functionality that I could implement into my website? I'm guessing it is the former and I'll have to run with a more manual approach but thought it couldn't hurt to ask.
