Embed Social Updates in Your Posts and Articles with SocialDitto

SocialDitto service is no longer available.

Mmm... Can bloggers and content writers stay away from social media? They used to. It's years ago, before the invasion of social media. But now they are attracted to social networks as it has promising benefits. In addition to content being published on blogs and websites, we find unique and pretty interesting content being shared on social platforms too. Were you ever wanted to embed a social update in your blog post or article?

Embedding a Social Update?

Is there any purpose of embedding a social update? Not always, but there can be scenarios you would just love to embed a social update you come across instead of describing what is it all about or linking to the status update from your post or article. It will simply add some color and keep your readers attracted to your post. Don't you think?

You already know that Twitter allows embedding tweets without using any third party tools. It's just really cool! But what if you need to embed a Facebook status update or Google+ post in your upcoming blog post or article?

SocialDitto

SocialDitto might come in handy if you need to embed a Facebook or Google+ social updates. Plus, it works for tweets too. Using SocialDitto is fairly simple, and it processes and offer you embed code within few eye blinks.

Embeddding someone's status update can be controversial if it was intended to shared among limited audience, but no more. Even if it's your social update or someone else's, SocialDitto validates its privacy. The original social update you are referring to should be a publicly shared update where no restrictions imposed on the audience. For example, even if you share a Facebook status update of a friend publicly on Facebook, yet this tool doesn't allow you to process that specific update unless your friend (the original poster) shared the original status update publicly. It assures privacy and prevent misuses for some extent.

In addition to social updates, SocialDitto can process Tumblr posts for you to embed in your content too. Enough talking. Shall we take a look and see how easy it is?
