Full Previews

HTML Previews

165 Providers is awesome, but for everyone else we don't specifically support, we still provide a rich embed preview with a title, description and photos.

Full Articles

For a few content providers like Posterous and Tumblr we embed the entire post. Imagine reading whole articles right in Twitter.

Instapaper Support

See a link you're interested in reading? With Instapaper support built in you can save links from Twitter to read at a later time.

Security

Anti-Phishing, Anti-Malware

Twitter phishing attacks have grown recently. Parrotfish compares links against known phishing and malware URLs and lets you know if we think that URL is unsafe. Phishing data is provided by Google Safe Browse.

Video Tags

Share your video files directly on Twitter from services like Dropbox. Parrotfish will wrap them in the HTML5 video tag allowing them to be viewed directly on Twitter.

Audio Tags

Turn your Twitter feed into a playlist. Play shared MP3 files right in Twitter using built-in controls.

Local Storage

We store preview information about a link in Chrome's Local Storage. This makes loading previews faster for you and less intensive for us.
