Blackbird Pie: Embed your Tweets in HTML (the nice way)

on May 8th, 2010

No more screenshots and embedding them as images! Twitter has launched Blackbird Pie, a service to create a nice looking embedable tweet code in HTML, nicely making use of your awesome Twitter background.
You can try it out here: http://media.twitter.com/blackbird-pie/

A word of warning though: if you attempt to embed more that one tween in any given page, the background will default to the one belonging to the last tweet on the page. That’s because the style for the box gets overridden by the most recent version. So look for the class “..bbpBox” and give it a unique name per tweet (I went for something very original: .bbpBox1, .bbpBox2 and so on). This way each tweet will have its onw styling.

And a few gorgeous examples below – chosen because I like the tweets and the backgrounds :)
