 * Hello,
 * I have installed WordPress 3.4.2 and cutting and pasting the Twitter status link
   will not embed the tweet.
    Do I have to enable something on my theme? What I 
   am doing wrong?
 * FYI: Furthermore, simply pasting a YouTube video link will not embed the video
   either, I need to use [embed][/embed] shortcode.
 * Thanks, for the help
