Twitter Card previews rolls out, allowing you to share Instagram posts in a Tweet, including a preview of the image.

Announced by Instagram yesterday, anyone can now share an Instagram link on Twitter with a thumbnail preview of the post. We don’t always see Twitter and Instagram/Facebook cooperating.
