<h2>The Technique</h2>
<p>We call this "tweet link introspection". Twitter clients can implement this and instantly improve the presentation of the gadzillions of links being tweeted every day.</p>
<p>It can be turned into a jQuery add-on to allow any website to perform link introspection on their content. It can improve the presentation of blog posts, comments, RSS feeds and more. The new information can even be used for search results so I can find this post again by searching for 'Dan Asteroid'.</p>
