Funny how google keeps this service around indefinitely but will kill off any number of other services :-) Though, I'm sure this is much cheaper to keep the lights on vs. something like Wave (RIP) or Plus.

I've used this in a side project and it's still very hit or miss. Especially depending on how you format your domain URL.

I came here to post this same tip.

Be advised... while this img tag is ok for embedding, clicking on the link in HN reveals an extra quote character.

Is this a tool that Google made public to developers use or people just found it?
