I'm having to get into Twitter to market my apps.

In the past someone posted a tweet on a product of mine. On clicking it, the far right hand side outside the middle section, in a box section I remember it showed images of the product, links perhaps, not sure if it was showing a section of a web site (iTunes).

Its a bit hazy to remember, but I was impressed by it, very handy for adding extra information, short tweet, then to the right the user gets this extra stuff.

What was I seeing, how is this done?
The social network sites are now becoming vital to market applications, build it and they will come just doesn't cut it on its own.

It looks like it has part of a web page embeded in it. I need to find out as its useful for marketing.

This is a function of the website, not twitter.

EDIT: To be a bit less vague; I just copied the URL from the tweet you posted, made my own tweet (now deleted) and I got the same "feature" when clicking "Expand -> Details."

Cheers,
Aaron

You are throwing me a bit, so what do I do to do the same? Like if I wanted to do this for a brand new tweet

You'd have to modify your website. I haven't investigated how yet. I might post back some details later on today though. (It's still in the AM here.)

Cheers,
Aaron

I just tested, apple store links show the data, google play ones do not, so its something in apple pages, that perhaps one can code into a web site somehow.

As I'm trying to get the fundamentals of twitter. I have some questions.
User galleries, mine does not show as slide show or grid but as a single image.

I also hear there is a limit to 100 images, what happens if you dont use the in app service, off site like twitpic? And do these offsite services allow you to have the photo button below the post, like the twitter pic does? And can these images be seen in your user gallery?
