7. Thanks, but I meant the link to your DU post with the screen captures.

This is a link to a Twitter post.

On edit:
Your comment about it happening automatically has got me wondering ...

Do you mean that people can see the Twitter post within your DU post after you post the link? That's not a screen capture you're seeing, that's the actual Twitter post and drives Twitter traffic just the same as if you had viewed it in another window or tab. The DU software just makes it more convenient for the reader (they don't have to click on the link).

The OP is suggesting converting the Twitter post to an image, similar to what you'd get from a digital camera, and posting that instead. Assuming the image is hosted on Imgur, Postimage, or somesuch, Twitter would get no traffic when people view it.
