When &8216'New Twitter&8216' launched earlier this year, it brought a slew of new features alongside its UI overhaul. One of the coolest additions was a new Preview mode �a4���a4�a4s��click on a tweet, and in some cases you can see the linked photo, YouTube video, or other piece of content in the right sidebar without having to leave your Twitter stream. There&'s just one little problem: Twitter only shows embeds for a limited number of services. And today, Embedly has released a new plugin for Chrome called Parrotfish that goes a long way toward fixing it.

According to the Embedly blog, at launch, Twitter was showing previews from 16 services like YouTube and iTunes�a4���a4�a4s��they&'ve since upped that number to 31, including favorites like Instagram. But there are still a lot of services that Twitter doesn&'t support, like The Onion and or ESPN. With Parrotfish installed, the number of supported services jumps up to a whopping 165 providers (you can see a partial list of them below).

It&'s a free extension for Chrome, and it includes a handful of other features as well, like additional phishing detection for links shared on Twitter. And there&'s another really cool feature: for sites that don&'t have supported embeds, Embedly will still generate a preview of the site that displays an image, headline, and brief excerpt (think the previews you see when you share a link on Facebook and you&'ll get the idea).

The extension was built by Embedly, a startup that makes it easy for developers to convert a basic link into a rich embed (a link to Amazon can be converted to a visual product overview, for example). The startup recently raised funding from Y Combinator, Lowercase Capital, and SV Angel.
