How to Extract My Tweets
Twitter usually displays your tweets in long lists that are quite difficult to split up. This makes it difficult to extract your tweets if you want to display them on your website or share them with your friends. There are lots of different ways you can extract tweets from your Twitter feeds and plenty of things you can do with them once they have been extracted.

Pull a specific tweet from your Twitter feed by clicking on its timestamp. Each tweet displayed on Twitter has a small timestamp located in the bottom left of its individual text box. The timestamp displays when the tweet was released, for example "2 hours ago" or "Thu 14th April." Scroll down your list of tweets until you find the one you want to extract. Click its timestamp and you are redirected to a new page where the tweet has been extracted and should stand alone on the page. Copy and paste the site's URL to share it with your friends or link to it on your site.

Extract your tweets for use on your website pages by using an online visual extractor. These extractors work by taking a screen grab of the tweet and converting it into an embeddable code for you to insert into your Web posts. The embedded tweet looks much more effective and striking than a simple text grab; it includes your Twitter background in color, any hyperlinks, your profile picture and the tweet in the stylized Twitter font. Extract your tweet by first copying the tweet page's URL before navigating to the Blackbird Pie page (See Resources) --- this is the only site that is capable of a screen-grab quality tweet. Paste your URL into the tweet field and press the "Bake it" button. The program extracts the tweet and displays it as an HTML code, which you copy and paste into your website's page editor.

Pull out only tweets that have important or relevant links by using an official Twitter application called SiftLinks. This particular application works by sifting through your entire Twitter feed and extracting only the ones that have links in --- this is quite useful for Twitter users who use the program for reading and sharing information. Extract tweets with links by navigating to the SiftLinks site (See Resources) and by clicking the "Sign In with Twitter" button. Enter your Twitter login details and allow the application to access your account. Wait until you are redirected to SiftLinks, which begins to extract tweets from your feed with links. Click the links to view and share them.
