In "rotating homunculus of Tim Berners-Lee's soul" news, TIL that it's a standard feature of a popular tab syncing extension on mobile Safari to replay GETs from linked browsers using this user-agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_1) AppleWebKit/601.2.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0.1 Safari/601.2.4 facebookexternalhit/1.1 Facebot Twitterbot/1.0
They do this, "so Twitter is more likely to unfurl for a full page preview"
Stop that banging, Tim's soul. You're not getting out
