Twitter Introduces “Hovercards”

Twitter has been around for quite a long time and so are zillions of twitter apps. But what exactly makes us use those twitter apps instead of the twitter web interface? Simply because twitter web interface fails to give those “additional and cool” features which are only given by twitter apps.

To bring it’s web interface a step further, twitter has just introduced Hovercards. Understand hovercard, step back in time and think what all you had to do if you came across and interesting tweet and want to know more about that person?

  • Click the person’s avatar on twitter timeline
  • Wait for his profile page to read
  • Check out his bio

But now, with Hovercards, the process has been shrunk into a single step. You have to just hover (place your mouse) upon an avatar and all the info about the person would popup. This indeed is an awesome timesaver!

PS : Not all of you would be seeing hovercards all of a sudden. Twitter has planned to roll out the feature in stages. So, be patient and we’ll keep you updated :)
