 This ticket is a request to have someecards.com added to the list of
 oEmbed providers.

 '''Is the service is popular enough for core developers to have heard of
 it before? Is it “mainstream?”
 '''
 We hope so. Someecards has been around for a while and is pretty popular.

 '''If similar services are already supported, how does this service
 compare in terms of size, features, and backing?'''
 Various image embed exists like imgur that are similar in some ways.
 Someecards is pretty popular. See social stats below.

 '''Does this service have a large following on Twitter, Facebook, or other
 social media?  Is its Twitter account verified?'''
 https://www.facebook.com/someecards/ (5.8M)
 https://twitter.com/someecards (verified, 2.35M)

 '''Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented?
 (Sometimes, they are just a developer’s pet project that may not be
 supported.)'''
 https://github.com/someecards/someecards-developer-
 docs/blob/master/oembed.md

 '''Does the oEmbed endpoint work with WordPress’ oEmbed auto-discovery? If
 not, could it be made to work with additional HTML tags or attributes
 being whitelisted?'''
 It works.

 '''Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers,
 such as through robust APIs?'''
 We're not making tons of open APIs currently.

 '''How old is the service?'''
 Someecards.com was started in 2006.

 '''Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article? (Seriously.)'''
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Someecards

 '''Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in
 some way, whether adding it as an oEmbed provider, creating a shortcode,
 or leveraging other APIs of the service? Do these plugins have any
 noticeable adoption or traction that would indicate usage and demand?'''
 Not that we know of but we're convinced this oembed support would be
 useful.

 '''Is the provider frequently proposed?'''
 Oembed rich media support was added a couple months ago so this is likely
 the first request.
