The document discusses three Twitter tools - TweetMeme, TweetTabs, and @Anywhere. TweetTabs allows embedding tweets from search results onto websites. @Anywhere allows embedding a login and tweet composer on external sites. Both tools serve over 500 million buttons per day from only 20 servers each. @Anywhere uses a JavaScript API to connect to Twitter and update statuses directly from third party sites.

It’s slow
It’s not supported by Twitter (yet)
