Profile Info with Every Smubbed Tweet
Posted by Marie in Updates on June 17th, 2009
We’ve added useful info to every smubbed tweet! If you’ve got smubs that point directly to tweets — for instance, as a means to Managing Your Favorite Tweets — from now on, viewing these smubs will not only provide you with the original tweet, but also provide you with the profile information of the person who wrote it.
To illustrate, I saved one of my personal favorite tweets (written by @cactus) at this smub: “http://smub.it./mariethebee/cactus.fav.” Now, when I view it, Smub gathers information from Twitter and displays it alongside the original tweet:
Now I don’t have to click over to Cactus’ profile page for more info; everything’s right there in front of me!
This is particularly useful when sharing smubbed tweets with your friends and family who aren’t familiar with Twitter. It gives them context as to the who, the what and possibly even the why of the tweet you’re sharing with them.
