    Seeing lots of people adding text captions which are visible in their tweets.
    How is this done?
    Thank you

    What do you mean? What text caption? It is just an @Name message.

    No Mkcoy. I guess my attachment didn't come across on the original post. Referring to when someone adds a text image to their tweets to enable them to get in more than 140 characters.

    Maybe you mean Twitter Cards?

    https://dev.twitter.com/cards/types

    Basically you add a few lines of HTML code in your pages' source. Then if the page is linked on Twitter, these "cards" will automatically appear.

    I just noticed your original image attachment... Maybe it was just a simple retweet or reply?

    No, Tony974. On my timeline, in both of my twitter accounts, every 10th,(or so), tweet includes this box with text in their tweet to enable extended dialog beyond 140. Feeling like I'm the only one left behind on this trick,....

    In your example, is the tweet posted by someone other than "SteelerChickPGH"?

    If not, it's a reply or retweet, since @SteelerChickPGH's tweet is quoted.

    It's not a reply or a retweet Tony974.

    Put the actual tweet url itself here then we can properly look at it and see it for ourselves!
