Embedded Tweets with Blackbird Pie
Twitter have quickly launched a new tool which allows you to embed tweets in html called Blackbird Pie. Supposedly based on tweets being the new quotes, it allows you to grab a code snippet and paste it as flat html.
It’s pretty straight forward, just pipe in a tweet url(you can get this by clicking the time of the tweet) into Blackbird Pie, select the code and paste it into your webpage. I can see something like this being pretty useful for endorsements. Sample of the output below.
@barryhand What’s your favourite humming noise? Is it mmmmm, or mmmMmmmm? Now, the first one is a refrigerator.

Of course, it needs a few tweaks, such as fixing the background image for those who previously had an image but don’t have one now. Multiple quotes on a page get messed up due to the CSS overwriting. The time of the tweet needs to be absolute as well. I’m sure they’ll fix these up shortly.
