Twitter introduced several enhancements to embedded tweets Tuesday.
Now embedded tweets look more like tweets you see on Twitter.com. Embedded tweets include photos, videos, and article summaries below the text of the tweet, and the embedded version will also include an accurate retweet and favorite count, so readers can instantly see how popular a particular post might be.
Content shown in embedded tweets is limited to that you see on Twitter cards on the website, so article summaries are limited to certain outlets, and Instagram photos will show as a link, while Twitter photos show as the full photo.
All I said was @petepachal and I were like Abbot & Costello. Then this happened. Thanks @ninafrazier twitter.com/LanceUlanoff/s…— Lance Ulanoff (@LanceUlanoff) January 22, 2013
Embedding tweets is also a little easier now. Now, to embed a tweet, you simply click on the "More" button below it and select "Embed Tweet" to get the short code for your website. Previously the process required you to select Expand, then Details, before you were able to get to the embed option.
Embedded tweets have also now been optimized, allowing for faster loading.
