This morning, Twitter’s Robin Sloan (@robinsloan) shared a “hack” that takes the web address of a specific tweet and spits out HTML code to present that tweet on a web page. The name of the tool is Blackbird Pie and you can find it at media.twitter.com/blackbird-pie. Let’s give it a quick try.
First here is a snapshot of my original tweet:
Here is a snapshot of the preview provided by Blackbird Pie.
Finally, here is the tweet coded by Blackbird pie.
Let’s see how Blackbird Pie turns a twitter URL into a tweet in a WordPress blog.

For comparison, here is that same tweet coded by QuoteURL. It’s a great tool, but designed for more than one tweet.
kessler Tomorrow @Twitter will allow you to add any tweet to your site with a snippet of code. Example: – http://bit.ly/9csalG
— this quote was brought to you by quoteurl
Just FYI, I've updated QuoteURL yesterday, I've raised the size limits and removed the 2 tweets minimum, so it now supports single tweet quotes as well :)
Thanks for the post!
