Use Chrome? Like Twitter? Embedly?s Parrotfish Is Your New Best Friend

When 'New Twitter' launched earlier this year, it brought a slew of new features alongside its UI overhaul. One of the coolest additions was a new Preview mode ?�click on a tweet, and in some cases you can see the linked photo, YouTube video, or other piece of content in the right sidebar without having to leave your Twitter stream. There's just one little problem: Twitter only shows embeds for a limited number of services. And today, Embedly has released a new plugin for Chrome called Parrotfish that goes a long way toward fixing it. According to the Embedly blog, at launch, Twitter was showing previews from 16 services like YouTube and iTunes?�they've since upped that number to 31, including favorites like Instagram. But there are still a lot of services that Twitter doesn't support, like The Onion and or ESPN.
