Tiivistelmä
This study examines the Twitter card, a feature that adds a preview for rich content links included in tweets. Previous research has not cover this recently added feature, though it has an obvious impact on the user interaction with his/her timeline and provides a new way of representing the user interface. At the same time, a default Twitter client has a major drawback – the number of web services that are officially supported is quite small. This study explores the possible future of Twitter card and presents a prototype application that shows what will happen if all the links will have previews, how this can be implemented and what users think about it.
The prototype application was developed using HTML/CSS/JavaScript, PhoneGap framework and ported to Android operating system. The source code of the application is provided as part of this research.
This study provides also user experience evaluation of Twitter card and the prototype application, and finds out the improvements in the hedonistic perception of the service if the number of supported services increases.
