The plugin has the following features:

*   Supports Twitter Web Intents http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents
*   TinyMCE editor button to easily search and embed a tweet
*   Support for the built-in embeds API (oEmbed), so a tweet URL on it's own line will be converted to a "pie"
*   Supports non-english tweets & names!
*	Now tweets looks pretty in RSS readers!
*   Exact same look and feel as the respective Twitter profile.
*   Allows for multiple "pies" in a single post.
*   Stores the generated HTML in a custom field (if possible), so the Twitter API is only called the first time.
*   The Custom fields used to store the tweet are hidden
*   Slightly better styling than the original Blackbird Pie
    *   Better use of the Twitter profile background image and color and tiling.
    *   Uses the Twitter profile text color.
    *   Uses the Twitter profile link color.
*   Dates are displayed like on Twitter i.e. "real time" datetime of when the tweet was tweeted. (see changelog)
*   Auto-linking of URLs, hashtags, usernames within the tweet text.
*   Use either the id or full URL of the tweet.
