Twitter now with image preview support for #2InstaWithLove – Indication of success?

Something that I had wanted when the #2instawithlove campaign started was to have inline image preview for the shots shared to Twitter. Thankfully, third party clients added the support (Gravity and Twabbit getting honorable mentions).

I just happened to notice that Twitter now has support for inline previews. So what this means, in case you don’t know, is that you can click the tweet to get more information, and you will be shown the image. This saves time, as you don’t need to click the link, then go back to twitter. Its not a must, but it is super handy.

Most likely looking way TOO deep into this, but this could be a sign of the success the campaign is having. Now that the app is available to all Windows Phone 8 devices, we should see an increase in the support of the campaign. Hopefully Twitter adding this feature is a positive indication of the campaign, with the next logical step being Instagram itself. (I know its a far jump from twitter adding support to Instagram coming, but I’ve always liked being an optimist!).

Update: It seems that the Official WP Twitter app now also has the previews.
