Thoda sa main...(A little bit of me)

In March this year, there were few shouts about US government forcing certifying Authorities (CAs) to had over SSL key to decrypt mail transfer. Personally I'm not worried till the time the decrypted data is with any govt but it would be a serious issue if anyone else reads my data.

Today twitter announced public availability of @anywhere which I thought of giving a shot.
Yes it's easy to setup and works like charm

STEPS:

1. Go to the dev site of twitter anywhere

2. Login using your twitter account & go ahead to create an application

3. All inputs asked are pretty much intuitive

4. Go to you APP detail page & take a not of your API key

5. On your website simply add the code snippet preferably at the end just before

<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/anywhere.js?id=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE&v=1"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
twttr.anywhere(function(twitter) {
 twitter.hovercards();
 twitter(".post").linkifyUsers();
});
</script>

6. Bang you are done. Now any twitter username on your webpage will be linked to twitter hovercacrd & a mouse over will show the fun

7. If you want to add this on any blog on blogger.com, simply add a "text/html box" under design layout and paste the code snippet in it.

8. To test I have added the same in this blog & now we'll see a few example with a little shameless plug of my twitter handles ;)

Mouseover these twitter handles to see @anywhere in action

My Twitter handles:

Technical tweets - @rohit11

General fun & casual tweets - @_rohit11

ClubHack - @clubhack

.

The way internet has barged into our lives, we have been seeing the world in a very new way.
