We built this extension to show off the Diffbot Page Classifier API, but also because it's awesome. Once installed, any time you're on Twitter you can:

  • Automatically identify the page-type behind any web link shared on Twitter.com. Know without clicking if a link is a photo, a product, an article, etc.

  • Click any photo or article Tweet to automatically expand its content without leaving Twitter.
