I'm actually creating SEO properties for a website owned by the company I work.

http://animoetc.com

I attempted to create OpenGraph entries that work with Facebook and other social stuff. But I've used meta name="og:__", that seems to work, but now I'm confused because many sites use meta property="og:__" instead.

So, is there a difference between both?

That question did not help me much: Whats the difference between meta name and meta property?

Thanks in advance.

    I strongly disagree with this being closed as off-topic. The reason given is that this question does not "directly involve programming". This question absolutely does directly involve programming! It's a precisely defined question: does `name="og:title"` cause any difference in behavior compared to `property="og:title"`? – jameshfisher Aug 15 '17 at 21:10

The meta property is a standard defined in Open Graph Protocol, the other is a simple HTML attribute – see this – that all search engines recognize, and its value does not need to start with the structure og: (which it is precisely the acronym of Open Graph).
