Chrome Extension that memorizes the tweet from which you followed a link. Useful if you a) opened 20 tabs by clicking on links in tweets and, b) after reading the linked page, feel an urge to reply or retweet, but c) can’t find the corresponding tweet in your timeline any more.
Proper short URL resolution. To my surprise, this is all but trivial since XMLHttpRequest transparently resolves all the redirections, and there’s no raw socket HTTP thing. Will try Websockets for this eventually. Until then, we’ll have to put up with what Twitter’s offering in the data-expanded-url attribute. This is the URL, stripped by any GET parameters and fragment identifiers. It will not work well with sites that distinguish their pages by something like ?id=…, potentially giving credit to a tweet that linked to another page of the same site.
I just installed Who-Tweeted-This and hoped to see the icon in the address bar of an URL opened from within a tweet on twitter.com, but nothing happend. No icon, no "back link", nothing.
Am I missreading the "documentation" of this extension or are there misunderstandings? Or is there really a bug, e.g. because I have still the old twitter layout?
