Twitter embeds itself in the web
"Imagine being able to follow a New York Times journalist directly from her byline, tweet about a video without leaving YouTube, and discover new Twitter accounts while visiting the Yahoo home page," Twitter said on its blog.
The social network has not said when the service will launch, but said that it had already partnered with YouTube, Microsoft Bing and eBay amongst others.
This "open" approach to third-party developers allowed Twitter to grow at a phenomenal rate in its early days.
