  Hi there,

  We have no control over the images that Twitter, Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

  Please read Images in Publicize http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize
