Any other things people want in the right panel?


3rd party plugins so that I can get evernote or snaptic or remember the milk or whatever third party content to display in there.

there are a million and one public custom data sources, don't let us be constrained by the ones you bless.

or if you don't want to deal with the security headaches, just allow a standard way for 3rd parties to inform twitter that their content is #newtwitter friendly and allow it to display formatted text.

basically, instead of using twitter through all of those sites, I just want to go to twitter and have all my content there and not be redirected all over the web (or at least have the option).

and 'lest I sound too demanding, great work and congratulations :)

Just what we need, a new, centralized portal website. Oh, that reminds me, I need to go add some widgets to my iGoogle page.


a portal comprised 100% of content that my friends recommend? yes please!


They could do that with an iframe. Third parties can provide embeddable content as plain old HTML pages. No need for yet another plugin format.


Plain old HTML pages can still run all kinds of scripts.


Maybe oEmbed support? http://www.oembed.com/


I'd like access to the pretty right panel ;)


I'll second that :)


Letting any third party have the ability to put stuff on the right panel would be awesome, even if it would lead to FarmVille on Twitter pretty quickly...


Pastebin perhaps? And Reddit posts, they have a nice API.


I haven't got the new twitter yet, but I'd like to know what I must do so that if somebody tweets a URL to my site (video) that the video will show in the right panel. Facebook has a form where you submit your page and they approve you. Will you be providing something similar?
