New feature: Automatic links inside tweets
As some of you might have already noticed, we rolled out a new enhancement today. Now when you receive an email containing tweets - such as a mentions alert or a response from latest@tweetymail.com - certain content within each tweet is automatically hyperlinked. This content includes:
- URLs - all URLs within tweets are now explicitly treated as links. While many email clients already treat URLs as links, this change ensures that every HTML-capable email client will allow you to click on the URLs.
- Usernames - all @username occurrences inside tweets are now clickable too. Clicking on an @username launches the profile of that user on the Twitter website. This feature is for FULL access users only.
- Hashtags - all hashtags insides tweets are now clickable too. Clicking on a hashtag launches a search for that hashtag on the Twitter website. This feature is for FULL access users only.
Here is an example:
Our goal is to make the tweets that are delivered to your inbox as useful as possible. We hope that these additional links will make it easier to look-up information and gain better context around the tweets that interest you. This is an experimental feature and we are interested in knowing how well it works. Are these links helpful? Do you mind navigating to the Twitter website? Perhaps in the future these links can provide more powerful and useful actions. Let us know your thoughts!
