Tweetree Blog: How You Can Add Thumbnails to Tweetree

Carl Morris · 12 months ago

Good tip - thanks.

Would it also make sense for you to default to the favicon - for sites without these tags?

Congrats on a great client.
HeyChinaski · 12 months ago

The thumbs tag is a good idea.
Another great way of embedding content using the the context from a URL is oEmbed : http://www.oembed.com/

It's supported by flickr, viddler, vimeo, hulu and many more. Even youtube, wikipedia and twitter are supported via the "proxy" http://oohembed.com/

Neat! Thanks for pointing me to oEmbed, I'm going to check it out.
Scott Persinger · 12 months ago

Just a note, Facebook has had for ages a standard for sites to expose a thumbnail and even the embed src for a video:

http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php

Their preferred tag looks like this:

<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.onjd.com/design05/images/PH2/WableAFC205.jpg" />

Thanks! This looks promising too. I'd love for Tweetree (and other sites) to be able to support multiple standards, such as oEmbed, this Facebook sharing standard, as well as the kind of mechanism Dave Winer has described. This gives site owners more options, which is always a good thing.

I don't think more options is always such a good thing. In this case, I would prefer using the FB method because it's already been done (circa 2006) and it's proven. Options aren't bad inherently, however, when you have too many they cease to be helpful.

There's a saying in Texas, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Tammy_Samour · 11 months ago

when do you think your ability to support other types of media will happen?

thanks
Costa Walcott · 11 months ago

We should have more types of embedding coming very soon. Are there any particular sites or services that you'd like to see?
