Embedding a Twitter feed on your website without retweeting it

Tweet embedding

By embedding a Twitter feed from some influential person on your website or blog, you can not only attract visitors but also offer them a shortcut to view the photos and videos right there. That way, readers or viewers don’t have to visit the person’s Twitter account. They get all the required information in one single place.

Embedding a Twitter feed on your website

The good part about embedding a Twitter feed on your blog or a website is that if the embedded tweet contains a reply, its parent Tweet gets displayed automatically above the reply. So, clearly, you don’t lose track of the conversation and can continue it for an extended period. Also, a permalink is available for both Tweets to make it easier for you to reply.

Launch Twitter.com and login. Go to the desired tweet you would like to embed on your blog or website. Just adjacent to the tweet, you will find the More menu. Click it. From the list of options displayed therein, select Embed Tweet.
