I see that Facebook's Open Graph asks you to have a meta property "og:title".

Why don't they just use the HTML title tag?

In my PHP code I started going through all page types and coding the og:title property. Then I realized, why don't I just set the og:title to the HTML page title? It would probably save me a lot of work...

Am I missing something? In which cases would we want the og:title to be different?
