EmbedTweet turns any Tweet URL into a working, single Tweet widget.
The EmbedTweet widget features a link to the Twitter user who originated the Tweet, the Twitter time frame of the Tweet, also the service or app that was used to post the Tweet.(i.e. Tweetie, HootSuite etc.) There is also reply and retweet functions built into the widget as well. (very social friendly)
There are two easy ways to implement the EmbedTweet service on your website or blog.
1. Download and install the WordPress plugin for EmbedTweet. (unzip it, upload this folder to your wp-content/plugins folder and activate it in your administration panel.)
-or-
2. Grab this bit of JavaScript and add it to the ‘head’-section of your HTML page:
At this point, any Tweet URL you post to your blog will result in a nice, interactive EmbedTweet widget. There is no need to deal with Twitter’s Half Baked Pie. (Blackbird Pie)
The developer indicates that there will be future innovation with EmbedTweet. I would like to suggest adding a few color options and maybe a sidebar friendly size option as well.

p.s. EmbedTweet DOES work on Tumblr!
