The Twitter Media blog announced Monday that it would release a tool that would enable users embed tweets more easily. Today it released a script that isn’t perfect called Blackbird Pie that allows you to get a code and embed a dynamic tweet without the post of a blog or article. It’s an alternative to taking a screenshot.

Despite buzz about the new feature (I think a lot of people expected it to be more widely implemented on the site), other sites have allowed you to easily get an embed code for individual tweets for some time, especially if you’re using a WordPress-powered site.

Hey all. The Civic Summit is kicking off tonight in Minnepolis, with many people already starting to use the designated hashtag #civicsummit. I figured I would use CoveritLive to aggregate the Tweets here for others to follow.

Welcome to Lavrusik.com. I am currently in the process of updating and adding things to the site to make it fully functional. This site will serve as a place for me to blog on the changing technologies and how it applies to journalism. I am specifically interested in how social media can be used as a tool in journalism. I love all things online and will offer reviews of tools available out there, new applications and much more.
