How does Facebook Sharer select Images and other metadata when sharing my URL?

Viewed 337646

When using Facebook Sharer, Facebook will offer the user the option of using 1 of a few images pulled from the source as a preview for their link. How are these images selected, and how can I ensure that any particular image on my page is always included in this list?

Put the following tag in the head:

<link rel="image_src" href="/path/to/your/image"/>

From http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php

As far as what it chooses as the default in the absence of this tag, I'm not sure.
