This is What a Tweet Looks Like

By Sarah Perez / April 19, 2010 8:33 AM


Think a tweet is just 140 characters of text? Think again. To developers 
building tools on top of the Twitter platform, they know tweets contain far 
more information than just whatever brief, passing thought you felt the urge to 
share with your friends via the microblogging network. A tweet is filled with 
metadata - information about when it was sent, by who, using what Twitter 
application and so on.

Now, thanks to Raffi Krikorian, a developer on Twitter's API/Platform team, you 
can see what a tweet looks like, in all its data-rich detail.
