11. I do that if there's a worthwhile comment, but the tweet itself cannot be consumed w/o having to go to "X"

...to consume it. Like I said, there's a LOT of valuable video content still hosted on the site that doesn't always make it to YouTube. Depending of the construction of the tweet (i,e, if the video is embedded in a linked tweet - clicking it will bring you off of DU and on to "X&quot .

My goal is to bring the worthwhile content that still resides on Twitter to DU and present it in a way that keeps the DUer on DU and off of "X".

No "X" clicks = no clicks for Elmo = nothing to use to lure advertisers to his platform.
