Bug Description
Hello,
For the tweets / dents containing a link to an image / video hosted at Twitpic, Yfrog, Twitgoo, Lockerz, Imgur, Instagram, Twitvid etc... it would be great to have, instead of the link repeated above the message, directly a thumbnail view of the image in Gwibber, and click on it would lead to the web page with photo in real size on the hosting site.
Like in Hotot for example. Of course it will work only if Twitter does not re-short the URL with t.co but with Identica, no problem.

Previous versions of gwibber did this as well. I consider it a regression and really hope we can get it into 3.2. I had started working on it a while back, but it really slowed down scrolling which is important to me. I need get async loading of the thumbnails working in a manner that doesn't slow down scrolling an consume to much memory.
