Old News for They're Cops

NEW as of 01-14-2011:

Based on some user feedback (thanks, Mike!), I've updated the new "Tweet This Cop Movie" feature. Now if the cop movie premise in question is too long, it will be cut down to Twitter size so you can tweet without fear of embarrassment! Furthermore, when someone follows the link in said tweet, the field at the bottom of the page will be pre-populated with the particular cop movie premise you found so amusing, so your followers can read the full, hilarious text, and not be left forever wondering what was after that ellipsis. Hooray!

Note that in order to make this work properly, I was forced to change some URLs on my website. This shouldn't affect you guys at all, as all the old URLs will quietly redirect to the new ones, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Exciting new feature! Now when you generate a cop movie you particularly like, you can click the "Tweet This Cop Movie" link and automatically post it directly to your Twitter account! Getting this feature to work involved lots of rage, cursing, and fighting with the Twitter API, so I hope you enjoy it!

Good news, everyone! The cops widget now supports Firefox! So feel free to generate cop movie premises in your new-fangled flaming animal browsers now, as well. And as always please keep me apprised of any issues you may have. Thanks!

The cops are back!

I recently shut down the applets section of my website, which contained a Java applet that generated random cop movie taglines/premises. It was an enjoyable little widget, and someone had recently complimented me on it, so I decided I couldn't just let it die, and I rebuilt it using php, ajax, and MySQL. The result is below. Enjoy!
