Previously in Who can see your @reply in twitter I highlighted Tony’s Common Friends or Followers on Twitter script. For this you had to download some code and create a html file to run locally. Having played with the SNAPP bookmarklet which lets you ”visualize the network of interactions resulting from discussion forum posts and replies” in various VLEs I thought it would be fun to take Tony’s code and also turn it into a bookmarklet. So now when you visit a twitter status page you can see how many people saw the @reply message in their timeline.
How to use:
- Copy the bookmarklet on this page
- Visit any twitter status page (here’s an example) Update: Also now works when you enter tweet via twitter home page
- Click on the bookmarket saved to your browser and see the user overlap (as seen by the Google Social Graph API)
How it was made
- Tweaked Tony’s code (modified version here)
- Put it through this minifier
- Created the bookmarket using Ben Alman’s online generator (this url populates the generator with my minified code
