Clickable URLs in Tweets

   Hi,

   I'd like to recommend a change in the Twitter widget. If there is a URL in a tweet, it would be great if the URL could be clickable and would link to its proper destination...instead of the whole tweet just linking to the user's Twitter page.

   That makes it harder for people to get to the tweeted URLs...first you click on the tweet in the InFocus theme widget, then you go to the Twitter page, and then you have to click the URL in the tweet there to visit the linked page.

   Any chance of this happening?

   Thanks,

   Mark

   Hello markb1439, thanks for the suggestion.

   I will move this to feature requests and we may see this in a future update.

   Hi Elliot,

   Its been 10 months now, but do we have an update on this?

   How can we modify the widget so when a user clicks on a link to visit the URL in the tweet instead of going to the Twitter site to see the status and then click again then to the link?

   One solution is to use the widget originating from twitter but i wan to have the infocus widget do that...

   Any solution to this?

   Sorry about this pirinas, the thread kind of split up, http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/links-in-tweets, and I forgot to update this.
