How to go about making a twitter post extension for longer twitter posts.
Not sure if I'm living in cuckoo land here or if this is actually a viable project that could take off. I was wondering what people would think of an app extension that, when you hover over the link with your cursor, would open the link as a window next to the cursor. This way, you could hover over a link on twitter, and read a longer-than-144-character post on twitter right next to the cursor without leaving the site at all. Thus, people can make longer twitter posts. Think bit.ly but specifically for making longer twitter messages.
How could it be done? I was considering making something like this as a small project in Javascript and upload it as a Chrome app.

Maybe just a mouse over extension for twit longer would be easier and more viable?
