  It would be cool if we could get Twitter’s @Anywhere on WordPress.com. @Anywhere is really useful, so it would be good.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Could you explain what it does and why it would be useful?

  @Anywhere is best explained here: http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere

  It has many features, but the most useful one, to me, is that if you put a Twitter username in a post, that is automatically linked to the Twitter profile, and when you hover over the link, it brings up a hovercard with basic details.

  An example of that is on the homepage of my old WordPress.org installation. If you hover over the @WordPress links, you will see what I mean. http://daniel-farrell.com/site2/

  Ah, that’s unlikely to fly here, as it relies on insecure code.
