I can't seem to get Facebook's like functionality to use the image I supply with the og:image meta tag.

Instead it uses some random picture on my site.

Check out this article: http://www.tacky.nl/skateboard/article/?id=109170

If I check the page with facebook's url linter it extracts the correct image (and data), but when I use the share button to share the page, then it uses another image. Any ideas why?

I have added what I assume is the right xmlns, all the required meta tags and the facebook javascript sdk init at the end of the page. Any help is appreciated. I use FBML, not iframe.

A possibility is that the image you're seeing was actually cached from an earlier attempt to Like the page before the og additions?

Was afraid of that as well, but have tried completely new articles as well that have never been shared before. It's for all pages.

Try to add this tag as well, wouldn't hurt:

<link rel="image_src" type="image/jpeg" href="http://www.tacky.no/m/201009/272045.jpg" />

Tried it now and it didn't work.
