Embedding Twitter Posts

This has probably been around for a while, but I just saw it today. Twitter now makes it easy to embed Twitter posts into a blog.

Simply:

  • Click on a twitter post so that it expands to show the time of the posting and a hyperlink labeled "details".

  • Click on the details link.

  • Click on the 'embed this tweet' link.
  • Copy the html tab and choose an alignment.

The great thing about this implementation is that the reader can interact with the tweet, e.g. replying or retweeting the post.
