bit.ly Preview Plugin for Firefox Updates
Today, we just added a few updates to the bit.ly Preview Plugin for Firefox. First, we fixed a bug that was causing the bit.ly Preview Plugin to load in rich text editors. (If you experienced problems on creating posts on Wordpress after installing the plugin, please grab the newest version to fix this bug: http://bit.ly/bitlyFirefox ).
Also, we added previews for Twitpic links. When you hover over a link to a Twitpic photo, you will now get a tooltip showing a thumbnail image.
To get the latest version of the plugin, go to http://bit.ly/bitlyFirefox and install version 1.2. (Note, you must login to Mozilla to install the plugin as we’re still in beta. If you have a second, please leave a review / rating on our plugin page, appreciate the feedback.)
Finally, just wanted to take a moment for a quick technical update. We’re working on some new backup solutions on bit.ly, and late last night the web site was down for 8 mins. Redirects weren’t affected but if you experienced fail on bit.ly we apologize for the inconvenience.
