Retrieving the Data Form External Client URLs

Question

I want to get type data (name, some description) from any external URL that the user enters.

Like facebook, when we copy an external URL, it extracts some information from that URL.

Is there a way to make this clientide some jquery plugin or something ...?

EDIT: As in facebook status, I copy "www.stackoverflow.com", it gets the name and additional information from it; I need to have a completely similar thing. Isn't there a jquery plugin that can get similar basic information from url ...
