Looks like it would be pretty simple to do preview images for image/media
File: pages. For articles, some combination of extracting a portion of text
and using the PageImage extension for selecting a thumbnail image would
probably do the job.

We should also double-check on appropriate goodies for Facebook and other
major networks, and perhaps proper native oEmbed support.

Ah, fun. :)
