This is not a much “important” function in twitter BUT oh well here is some good news to all the people who use the Twitter web interface. Twitter now adds a new feature called ” The hovercard of Twitter” which are basically tooltips that appear, when you place the mouse over the nickname at a reply or the avatar picture of a twitter user on twitter.com.
Designed to show information useful in retweet – that could draw profiles which are still following – the hovercard indicate details such as audited accounts, real name (where it has been set, otherwise the nickname in full) and geographic location – giving the opportunity to follow flying the user object, even enabling the notifications on mobile devices, but in Italy no longer active.
It seems that it will be possible to expand hovercard to display additional information without having to visit the profile of a user: when there is no mention of integration into API, but that that was perhaps more interesting than the mere inclusion on website Twitter … because despite many clients already establish something similar, via the web is more complex to retrieve the same information.
