don't overload my Twitter headlines
you guys missed a key feature of using vanilla twitter: the ability to scan masses of tweets quickly. This works because each tweet is limited to 140 chars and that's it. In other words, showing inline images and videos *defeats* this feature. I'd suggest that instead you provide a link titled "show image" or "show video" beside the tweet; that would be useful because I would haven't to open the link in another tab (like in vanilla twitter) *if* I actually did want to view the image.
The secret sauce to twitter is the limited space on the screen that each tweet occupies -- it's about 3 inches, never more! If you don't maintain this feature then you will be shutting out those who use Twitter to quickly scan masses of tweets or "headlines."

Inappropriate?Thanks for your idea. While we've had a great response from people who like seeing expanded media inline, we understand that some people prefer seeing more tweets at once (which is one reason we created the "wide" view option).
We've considered adding an option in settings to turn off media expansion, replacing it with a "click to see photo/map/video" as you've suggested. We'll keep that idea alive as we continue to iterate on Brizzly.

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?This was the first thing that I thought when I began using Brizzly. The interface and features are wonderful, but being able to toggle autoexpansion of inline media (and maybe shrunken URLs, as well) would be a great addition to the product.1 Comment Add a comment

We are considering making this a setting. I'll update you when we have a plan for it. -
Inappropriate?I'd go along with this auto expansion idea, providing there was a global option for 4 default behaviors thus:
Inline Media:
Always On | Show Inline Toggle?
Always Off | Show Inline Toggle?
I’m happy
