Not sure why you're being downvoted but I logged in to same the same thing. This blog is blank to me.

He is being downvoted because it is crazy to expect websites to work around the bugs in various 3rd party plugins. This is an issue for the plugins to fix.

Not surprising to see Twitter finally acquire Gnip after working with them for four years. A great achievement for the team at Gnip, and will be interesting to watch the data model they intend on developing with Gnip as time goes on.

I would argue that relying on Javascript to display what ought to be a simple static site is the problem here, but I also agree that perhaps the plugins ought to recognize what's going on and allow that JS to run.
