Summary

Authors that share a Twitter account often use their initials to show who tweeted. A tweet can look like: "Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, ... SR" The initials of the author are often prefixed with special character like '' or '^'.

This extension lets you translate those initials to the full name of the author. As an example we have used and set up the extension for MobileVikingsBE. Instead of the real names we translated their initials to Norse names. Install the extension and check them out at https://twitter.com/mobilevikingsBE
