Guys, while surfing some articles, I came across this site:
It is having some cool looking effects using CSS only (CSS3 I suppose) and the developer has provided open source libraries for most of her development. I hope this thing might be helpful for theme developers.
We have already added support for Facebook Open Graph in rtPanel. Still check this post… We may find improvements!

We don’t need to write out own character excerpt function. wp_html_excerpt() extracts not more than the first $count characters from html string and return string excerpt. If you want to add ‘…’ to string , append it after calling the function.
Syntax: wp_html_excerpt( $str, $count );
$str String to get the excerpt from.
$count Maximum number of characters to take.
you will get this function in /wp-includes/formatting.php.
