Adds a <code>just_a_tweet</code> function and short code that allows you to display only 
the most recent Tweet from a Twitter feed.
This came about because I wanted a way to display my most recent tweet in the 
header of my site. Looking through dozens of Twitter plugins I couldn’t find 
one that just got the most recent tweet without too much extraneous HTML and 
also cached the request. This function does both.

Twitter Embed requires no configuration, it works out of the box right after activation. Copy a link to a tweet on Twitter.com and paste it on a line by itself in your post or page editor. When viewing the post, you’ll see that the link has been replaced with the embedded tweet with options to reply, retweet, favorite and follow.
The plugin uses Twitter’s original widgets API, the shortcode and embed HTML are available too. Embed HTML is reversed to a Tweet shortcode when HTML is filtered (for authors or contributors). The tweets themselves are cached in post meta for better performance.

Twitter Embed

Easily embed tweets in your posts and pages by posting the tweet URL on a line by itself or by using a shortcode provided by the Twitter interface.
