A small yet nice update has been made to the web version of Microsoft’s Xbox account service; links to media and profile content now preview when shared on Twitter both on the Twitter website and on official Twitter apps. This is done through the implementation of basic website meta data that pulls the page title and preview image from a server for displaying on social media and makes a basic tweet with a link appear much more visually appealing and clickable. We use the same technique on On MSFT for our pages as well. (Go ahead! Share one of our articles on Twitter and see for yourself! ;) )

BTW, we made it so links of tweets off your xbox account now show inline for https://t.co/cDmjnf5ya9 and Twitter apps. No more linking! https://t.co/LSKsfOPnh2 — Mike Ybarra (@XboxQwik) January 26, 2017

This change to the Xbox website was announced a few hours ago by Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra and has been very well received by gamers. Do you ever share Xbox information on Twitter or other social networks? Let us know in the comments below.
