Twitter announced updates to its Cards feature for developers Tuesday. The enhancements enable greater integration of media and apps, and target mobile users of the social network, but the overall goal is to allow developers to stuff more content in and around a typical tweet while maintaining the 140-character tweet limit for texts. The company introduced three new types of Cards: App, Product and Gallery. The new Cards allow for deep linking into an app and the ability to drive app downloads directly from a Card.
