There are several good things that get posted from time to time on Twitter, DJT, James Woods, etc. and some of pretty good stuff makes it over to SF, but its 40 steps to posting...

Appears the way to post a tweet on SF is to upload an image of a tweet to a photo hosting source then put in a reply as an image. Which is fine, but wondered if there is another way, not the the necromonger way, but a way to imbed tweets like Images without all the work...

Tweets have code access, like you click the "" icon in the message and copy the code to embed, but I'm sure that won't work, since I tried it and, well no workie!

Perhaps an addition to the Karmanator is in order, of course that's a request if there's no other way...

Just wondered if anyone figured out a solution..

Yes we all know, "you don't tweet", "don't use FB", we get that.... etc

I will try to post more details later, but I can post a tweet in just a few seconds. Literally taking me longer to type this than it would be to post an image of a tweet. Use 2 free programs - Greenshot and link it to Imgur.

Just hit the PrtScr button on keyboard, use the box to capture the area, click 'upload to imgur' and then hit the box when it's done uploading and link directly to the URL. Maybe I can do a screen video or detail the steps more fully later. After set up and configured it literally takes seconds to post images of anything on your screen.

You can link directly to the tweet, but then Twitter gets the traffic.

I'm this >< close to blocking twitter.com at the border firewall.
