Support new 'See It' Twitter Card

Updated: Comment #N

Problem/Motivation

Support the new 'See It' Twitter Card being introduced by the Comcast/Twitter agreement.

The new card type is called 'seeit'.

The new properties are:

• showid*
• idspace*
• campaignid
• assetid

* required

Comcast: http://corporate.comcast.com/seeit

I created a submodule of the Twitter Cards module vs integrating it into the Twitter Cards module directly because See It may not be used by the majority of websites (outside the TV industry) and I don't want to force it on anyone who just wants a normal Twitter card.

The See It button is aiming to become an industry standard and not a proprietary exclusive technology so this will eventually benefit more than just Comcast/NBCUniversal. However, I can see the need to hold off merging this in until more happens after the initial roll out. Until then at least this will be here as a patch for others to use if they need to implement this into their Drupal site.

Proposed resolution

Create submodule. Patch below.
