TweetreeSaturday, December 27, 2008 by Dave Winer. You heard it here first, this thing is great! It pulls in content it knows about like Flickr pics and YouTube videos so you can view inline. It figures out the threading of replies (sort of) and displays them inline. Other services they have direct support for: TwitPic, FriendFeed, Seesmic, Qik, Lala, Blip.fm, Xkcd. It also figures out when you're pointing to a picture and sucks that in, and it gets the titles of web pages you point to. And it's true to the design of your web page on twitter.com. This is brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. And exactly what I asked for, which of course makes me happy!! These guys are brilliant. Great stuff. They'll be rich next week so be nice to them. Please don't sell this to Loic. Update #1: They need item-level permalinks, unless I'm missing something. |
