I like embedded tweets, and yes I can still discuss the content

50. first, I am not arguing we should take away this functionality

But you post how you want. You have valid point - it IS a little more difficult to copy and paste but I demonstrated below it's not a LOT more difficult. All you do on your phone is long press on the tweet and your phone will copy it to your clipboard. Paste that in a reply on DU. Go back and copy the link to the tweet from the drop down box and paste that in the same reply.

Most phones allow task switching and you DO have to go back and forth twice but if you are posting the link to DU you have already done on e of the copies.

All Orrex is saying is he can't help it if his work blocks twitter. It isn't his computer's bad set-up - it's his work network stopping that traffic. That's not your fault either and nobody is saying it is. All I'm saying is if you want the most people available to participate in your posts, make them readable by the most people possible.
