Bad strategy: publication by transclusion
Transclusion of third-site material in the Guardian is increasing by the day and occasionally articles can include more tweets than original text by the Guardian journos. This is a bad strategy because (a) it creates a totally unnecessary breach of the readers' privacy by letting Twitter and Facebook and whoever know which articles a reader is reading and (b) it leaves the Guardian crippled when original material is removed from the third-party site. An example of this from here can be seen in this screenshot:

The way to solve both these problems is by placing screenshots of third-party materials on the Guardian site itself.
The missing embedded tweets improves this article about tweets.
