TwitterGadget URL Expansion

TwitterGadgetA month ago I mentioned that I was using TwitterGadget with iGoogle as my twitter client. In fact, I’ve been using it daily since then. Today I finally noticed a very cool feature: URL Expansion.

Hover over any URL that comes from a URL Shortening service (bit.ly, is.gd, etc.) and TwitterGadget will show you the destination. That is so sweet and, if nothing else, reduces the odds of being rickrolled;-)

Has this feature always been there? I don’t see any mention of this on their home page, but it sure is a handy little feature.
