[twitter-dev] massive #fail - auto profile popups

The automated profile popups are a profound source of #fail. Anyone using an Atom based machine is basically twiddling their thumbs for 30% of the time they're trying to use the web interface. Chrome users already had this feature with the bit.ly expander and it did much, much more. There r

I should clarify. Returning a 403 is what we do right now. Later today (hopefully) we will correct the behavior to return a 200 in this case. So short story: we'll be doing what you want us to do. ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 11:57 AM, Dewald Pretorius wrote: >
