Tweet Plugs

The worlds first collaborative twitter annotations* plugin system!

Create plugins in the plugin editor, have them automatically loaded into peoples status updates on the deck**.

This is a prototype of something that could be. The idea is that you can send, along with a tweet, a 'chunk' of a web application. Maybe you send out a survey to your followers, or an link to a song along with an 'add to spotify playlist' button. Tweetplugs gives any developer the power to write a plugin using technologies they already know (html+css+js). Any twitter client which can render html+css+js could display the plugins. Imagine twitter as an application platform, not just a communication platform.

I haven't got much more time to work on this at the moment, but if you'd like to know more, or would like to get involved, contact me @mcintyre321

* If you are wondering how come you can see twitter annotations in the deck even though they aren't released, its because my twitter proxy decorates the normal twitter feeds with annotations.

** If loading up snippets of other peoples HTML into your browser sounds a little, well, dangerous, don't worry. The code is made safe using the Google Caja project, the same technology used for yahoo and igoogle widgets.
