Just testing out Twitter’s new “Embed this Tweet” feature. It lets me embed a tweet within my blog post. Here’s my example:
Just testing out embeddable tweets – this will be posted to my blog tomorrow. Let’s see what happens with it!

Interesting. It lets you:
- See my Tweet in a more “twitter-like” format
- follow me
- reply, retweet, favorite
It’s sorta like you are on Twitter … outside of Twitter. Even cooler is this: since it’s not a screenshot, viewers/readers can actually click and follow/respond. It’s a simple way to prompt Twitter users to do that next step. Nice!
So – what do you think of Twitter’s new Embed this Tweet feature? Will you find ways to use it?
Looks good, where do you find this feature?
It is tricky to find. Here’s how:
– on a tweet, click the posted time (ie., 1 min ago) link
– then click “Details” so you get the screen with the single tweet
– the “Embed this Tweet” is below the tweet
Neat idea. Unfortunately, all these features only seem to appear if I am viewing the post right on your website, rather than through Google Reader.
I like it! Â I’ve often wanted to do just that. Â But I do wish it showed up when viewed via RSS readers like Google Readers. Â
really to great and a awesome post
this is such a nice and informative post i liked it a lot
thanx for sharing this blog
I’m not finding it working with Blogger – I remember mention long ago about not being able to use javascript in posts, only in layout widgets; maybe that problem continues.
