Are OG tags still considered enough to accurately display website content when shared across all social media channels? Including Twitter & G+?

 

Also, does it matter where between teheh <head> tags they appear - in relation to other meta tags? Just curious.

OG (open graphic) tag is very helpful for displaying website content when shared across social media sites. So using OG tag is inside your code is essential.

Place og:tags within the head section, after the rest of your meta tags. Use both link rel="image_src" and og:image.

Agree with b44rd, I don't think order matters that much, but placing them after Meta tags is how we organize our code as well. In answer to your first question, yes, they are used on most of the major social media sites (linkedin, FB, Twitter, etc) and are a must.
