    You owe me for a new keyboard… my now non-functioning one has coffee on it. You’d think Twitter would not allow you to modify the text, but in this case, hilarious!

    Seriously, I think this is a brilliant move on Twitter’s part. With enough quotes getting direct link love to your name, Twitter could quickly become the default ranking presence over facebook, linkedin or even your own blog as a search result. Twitter has the perfect reach to strengthen its own position in the SERP based on personal brand. Just one more reason not to be a jerk on twitter.

    Hey JP,

    Be sure to check out http://blog.apture.com/2009/08/how-to-embed-a-single-tweet-on-your-blog/ they’ve had an embed tweet function for over a year.

    I assume the SEO benefit is greater with Twitter’s?

    Blackbird Pie is a nice tool but the code doesn’t render properly in WordPress. Perhaps that will change with WP 3.0?
