This library and associated modification to the webtalk front-end will unfurl incoming links, giving you previews of links and expanding images and youtube videos.
A simple %gall app watches your porch (your incoming %talk messages) and, when it sees a candidate
for unfurling, it checks the url to see if there is available metadata, or otherwise expands the link.
The resulting metadata is then inserted into your porch (invisible to the rest of the %talk channel),
where it is formatted by a modified version of webtalk.
