12. Explicit Sharing
Explicitly shared actions let apps notify us when a
user wants to share something prominently, like they
would on Facebook.You mark Open Graph actions as
explicitly shared by adding the fb:
explicitly_shared parameter when publishing
actions.
For example, when people choose to share a run they
took with a fitness app, they expect the content to
appear as if they had posted it directly to Facebook.

13. Follow
Similar to the ability to subscribe to a user's posts on
Facebook, users can now follow other users' Open
Graph activities from a specific app. For example, on a
movie review site, users can follow their favorite movie
reviewers.
When a user follows another user in your app, all of the
content published in your app by the publisher is eligible
to be displayed in the follower's News Feed even if they
are not Facebook friends (as long as the privacy on the
actions published allows the follower to see the post):

14. Title-less
objects
Sometimes objects do not have meaningful
titles. For example, users often do not title
photos when using a photo app. To avoid having
to add a meaningless title (e.g. "photo"), Open
Graph supports objects that have no title.
To publish an action with a title-less object, the
object still needs to have the og:title metadata
field, but its content should be an empty string:

15. User-generated
photos
Open Graph stories that were generated
with the "user_generated" parameter will
function more similarly to stories generated
by stream publish.
Immediately you will notice that the size of
the photo associated with the story is much
larger than standard open graph stories with
non user-generated photos

16. Action Links
Open Graph Actions are the high-level "interactions"
users can perform in your app. When these actions are
published, the activities may appear in a users' Timeline or
their friends' News Feeds and Ticker.
Open Graph Action Links show up alongside the Like and
Comment actions in any Open Graph story allowing
friends to quickly take action in response to a
story without having to navigate away from
that story. This in turn will drive more distribution to
your app with fewer user clicks.
