Recently, the folks behind it released the Wolfram Alpha widgets which can be embedded…

In a typical Murhpy’s Law fashion, as soon as we posted the previous blog update about the connectivity issues, we figured out the problem and fixed it, so I believe this issue is now behind us and the new servers will start acting like they’re supposed to – healthy, fast, and uninterrupted.
