WP Lynx allows you to create stylized links akin to those in Facebook. These stylized links, known as lynx prints, can contain a thumbnail image of any of the images on the linked page, plus a short excerpt from the page. The images are automatically cached on your server (no hot-linking), and the content is intelligently scraped.
Note: version 1.0.0 of this plugin requires PHP5.3 or newer.

We've been running this plugin for about 2-4 years now on various WP installations that need to pump out some news / updates from time to time and still have not found a plugin that does a better job at sharing small snippets of info. It captures the title, image & description very well and gives the user some additional customization options as well.
Working better

I get nothing but 403 and time out errors trying to use this plug-in.
UPDATE
The URLs I was using are loading better today. Now I need to figure out how to make it prettier.
Thank you for your responses here.
