You can now embed individual Tweets on a web page, blog, just about anywhere you embed other material with a new code generating web site from Twitter Media.
To date, bloggers using Twitter messages to accompany their news content have simply taken screenshots of relevant tweets and pasted them into their posts.
Twitter said while it appreciates ReadWriteWeb's use of real tweets to bring the piece together, "a pasted-in image of a tweet is a bit of a hack." And so, the company is providing a way to add a code snippet "to generate simple, selectable flat-HTML tweets."
To grab the code to embed a Tweet, head to this page, enter the Tweet URL, grab the code, and you're done. As you'll see, Twitter Media named this project "Blackbird Pie."
In the future, look for shorter URLs and timestamps.
