If you’ve ever wished to simplify the process of grabbing a screenshot of a Tweet, TweetShots is your solution!
Sometimes, A-listers accidentally post dirty little tweets. How many times has someone deleted an "accidental tweet"? Well, if you’ve ever been too lazy to grab a screencap of it, TweetShots will solve that problem (and create a headache for others).
How To Use TweetShots
Immediately go to the entire url of the tweet. - Open TweetShots in a separate window/tab.
- Enter a name for your TweetShots bookmarklet
- Drag said bookmarklet to your toolbar
- Go back to said tweet and click bookmarklet
- Click where it says "Click Here" (hint: it’s on the robot)
- Grab embed code or integrate into your Tumblelog

Tumblr Integration Rocks
Integration with a Tumblelog is quick and easy. For an example of Tumblr integration (which is awesome) check out the TweetShots Tumblelog. With Tumblr integration, you not only get the tweet, but any links within the tweet are also listed! Sweet!
This would be an even better service if it could TweetShots my replies page!
What do you think?
LOVED IT? SHARE IT!:
Hmm.. Didn't work for my own Tweet URL's, but tried some others and they work? Strange.
Ahh. I found the problem. Tweetshots don't like https:// in the URL. When I changed it to only HTTP:// then it worked :)
Y'all really need Skitch, don't you?
My solution: Skitch always running. Grab screen with Skitch. Click Webpost. Click Share. Click Twitter button. Et voila.
I prefer Jing (thejingproject.com) … I can grab movies with audio with it too, and it's free….
You probably mean this URL: http://www.jingproject.com/ and not that spammy one you posted :)
Skitch isn't available for Windows now…is it?
Jing is fantastic. You might also want to try WebKut. It's more lightweight, but I'm using both tools. Jing for more complicated caps. WebKut for the simple stuff.

hi,
i'm the geek behind tweetshots.
thanks for the review. :)
i created this because i wanted to create a curated tweet collection on tumblr.
i find these social artifacts interesting.
occasionally i see embedded tweets in blog posts… and when i saw this rocketboom video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiGWV-irAyM) i was motivated to take the bookmarklet i made for myself and give it a name and see if anyone else might find it useful.
if nothing else, it has been fun to tinker with.
i did quickly add an email option the other night so that you can email a tweetshot to someone. i'll have to polish that feature but i thought it might be interesting so i added it.
next i thought it would be cool to use your favorited tweets and provide you with a slideshow of those. so i have started that feature. tweetshotting @replies is interesting, as you suggested. i'll see what I can do.
feel free to @reply to this tweet with any feedback and ideas. – http://twitter.com/tweetshots/statuses/804962179
