Peekr is a cool twitter bookmarklet that lets you view any twitter users background image without any tweets obstructing your view!

Just drag the Peekr bookmarklet to your browser toolbar and try Peekr by clicking the bookmarklet while you are on a twitter profile. The way all the tweets and other profile information slide away makes Peekr a cool twitter bookmarklet.

Quickie

  • Twitter bookmarklet to help you view any twitter users background image without any obstacles
  • Tweets and other profile information slide away on click of the bookmarklet

Peekr Says

Are you hip to twitter? Well, peekr is kinda like a Twitter Widget (a “twidget”) because it’s a tiny little Twitter helper. Some tweeple might call it a bookmarklet, but we know it’s so much more!
