I love this addon, but is there no way to embed tweets as well? I bought this addon specifically for its' additional embed capability. Our website users are heavy twitter posters with disqus and we are trying to find a replacement that we control.

This comment system is the best one we've seen so far. However if we can't use twitter with AJAX embeds like we can with youtube et al without reloading the comment section, we will have to seek out other systems.

Thank you NWCon,

I'm sorry but I didn't follow you. wpDiscuz Media Uploader plugin allows to embed Twitter and other services in comment like in this example:

What's wrong with this? Could you please explain it again?

I see that. However, the problem is that twitter embeds don't embed in the comments like they do in posts on wordpress. When you place a twitter link in a post on wordpress, the  show tweet as if you are on twitter. In your comment plugin, it just shows text inside a blockquote.

 

That tweet should be showing a .gif that the commenters should be able to play on our site, instead, this forces them to go to twitter itself to see the rest of the content.

You should wait a bit, it takes 5 sec to load the one you want. wpDiscuz uses the same core WP embed functions, there is no any difference. Please watch this video: http://screencast.com/t/T5EBNWnGc

It looks like this in a few seconds:
