I can’t work out who is making more waves at the moment, Twitter or Spotify. Nevertheless, I thought I would write about both today and with Twitter’s launch of their new embeddable tweets they are going to get a quick note here too.
Embeddable features have always been a useful addition to YouTube videos, enabling the dynamic spread of great videos across blogs or other websites. However, Twitter has always had the problem, or we have always had the problem with Twitter, that we need to copy and paste or screenshot a page, to get those valuable tweets which we want to talk about.
The problem seems now to be non-existent as Twitter launches their embeddable tweets feature which means you can now take any tweet (this should roll out quickly) and embed it into your post or site. This is great as it enables quick reference of tweets without any massive effort.
This is due to be rolled out in the very near future, hopefully tomorrow…see quote below:
“But the truth, of course, is that a pasted-in image of a tweet is a bit of a hack. We have a simple alternative to propose; it’s coming tomorrow.” From ReadWriteWeb via Mashable.
