Facebook OG tags Not Working


I have a simple rails 3 app with a FB like button. Ive used FB OG tags to get the image other pertinent info posted during the like transaction.

when i test on my local server and after uploading, lies are posted with Facebook's default image and doesn't include other info from the OG tags.

I looked at few of the other questions on this, reviewed FB's developer instructions on how to use the OG tags and i'm certain I've entered them correctly. Wondering if there's another step or something else that i'm missing

I have the tags in my head section like so

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>my title</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="My Site" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="My Site" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.mysite.com/"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mysite.com/assets/image.png"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="ecommerce"/>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", :media => "all" %>
<%= favicon_link_tag "/favicon.ico" %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>

body stuff
