Comment (by nacin):

 Hmm, maybe this isn't quite ready for commit.

 I'm trying to find any kind of "institutional" support for oEmbed. It's
 not listed anywhere on api.imgur.com. How did we come to learn its
 existence? I found http://imgur.userecho.com/topic/53378-any-plan-to-
 provide-oembed-api-interface/ with a reply from Alan, in which he wrote
 (two years ago): "That's a really good idea. I've just added it to my todo
 list. A blog post will most definitely be made when it's released, but it
 should be sometime next month." Good to know they like this, but it's
 still listed as "PLANNED" and I can't find anything on their (WordPress-
 powered) blog: http://imgur.com/blog/?s=oEmbed. I also can't find anything
 in their API google group:
 https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/imgur/oembed.
 Searching Google for "oembed imgur" doesn't turn up much, and "oembed
 site:imgur.com" is limited to a link to their API page (which contains no
 documentation — but did it?).

 oEmbed is not widely, so I don't expect them to make it a first-class
 citizen on their API documentation or anything, but it's a bit odd I can't
 find anything. We've gone through this problem with Twitter where they
 routinely forget about and break their oEmbed endpoint, which I'd like to
 avoid here. I'm currently in their API IRC channel and am asking for more
 info.
