One very cool feature Discourse has is “oneboxing”. If you include a link to your favourite site, it will try to create a usable snippet for you automatically.
For example: paste the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spite_house on a line by itself and you will see a nice onebox from Wikipedia
Some samples:
