For the past 3+ years we had a great time fulfilling your desire to see other people's conversations on Twitter. Unfortunately, we are really sorry to announce you that Bettween is ceasing operations indefinitely. This was always a side project of ours and with its ups and downs we always managed to improve it in little increments. Sadly, we have reached a point where we can no longer take care of it and we have to let it go. We really appreciate all the feedback and love we received during our long (in Internet times) life. For the foreseeable future you will still be able to reach us at hello@bettween.com or @bettween

Posted: May 6th, 2010 | Author: Xavier | Filed under: hacking | Tags: embed , twitter | View Comments With the Publitweet Blackbird bookmarklet we released yesterday you can grab any tweet on Twitter.com and embed a static HTML version on your site in no time.
Few weeks back, Twitter launched a service called Blackbird Pie which will let you embed any tweet into your blog post. Here on shoutmeloud we have also covered the tutorial on how to use blackbird pie , which generates HTML code for those tweets which you need to embed in your blog post. Actually you need to grab your tweeted link, paste the link in the blackbird pie site and then it generates a code which you can use to easily embed that tweet into your blog post. So, I personally consider this as too much of manual work and here is a Google chrome extension to make the work easier. Blackbird for Chrome enables bloggers and webmasters to retrieve a well-formatted HTML code corresponding to a single tweet. This is just a lightweight, ready-to-use port of the BlackBird Pie script.
Back in 2008, the Washington post covered a really interesting study in which they had one of the most famous and talented musicians in the world, Joshua Bell, play some of his usual concert pieces incognito in a subway. Almost no one stopped to listen or recognized how beautifully he was playing. Within the last few weeks- Jay Baer wrote a great post about how, thanks to new media like Twitter, it is much easier to come by information but along with this new speed of information transfer is a wane in more investigative knowledge mining.
