 Version 1 of the API is deprecated and it will be
 [https://dev.twitter.com/blog/planning-for-api-v1-retirement retired
 soon]. We should work on moving to
 [https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/oembed version 1.1].

 This sounds like a no-brainer, however one of the biggest changes between
 the two versions is the authentication model. Version 1.1 does not support
 unauthenticated requests. This means that we can no longer anonymously
 query the oembed endpoint.

 I'm not sure we want to build an OAuth client into Core specifically for
 this and have users go through an authentication process before being able
 to embed tweets. Another option is to construct the embedded tweets
 [https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets manually] without querying
 Twitter's API.

 This should also fix most of the "tweets won't embed" problems people are
 having on shared hosts, since unauthenticated requests in v1 are rate
 limited by IP.
