robinberjon amyoleary clancynewyork themarkup At least the last time I checked! But these are all good answers and I'd love to see themarkup's code. And also the "right" way is bullshit for many reasons including the heavyness, invasive tracking and slow execution of the Twitter embed code...Permalink On twitter.com

robinberjon amyoleary clancynewyork themarkup Especially if you are embedding more then 1 tweet, in which case you have to muck about to make only 1 script call.
