I stopped using it on a blog because load times skyrocketed. It was a loooong time ago. Cannot remember when exactly.<p>If you are thinking about coding something similar to cross promote content and media streams think careful about how do wou affect page load times and page layout flexibility.<p>Also, I didn&#x27;t have data about how good was for me to put that embed code in the site. It was great for twitter, who got traction, but nowadays I won put anything from a third party that doesn&#x27;t give me information about the benefits I will get.<p>Hope this helps
