Twitter unveiled some major updates to the Interface in December. One interesting tidbit for developers is the new Tweet embed feature. Now embedding a tweet will be as simple as embedding a YouTube video…well sort of. It’s not quite as seamless as YouTube. The one problem I find with this feature right out of the
