Social sharing is a stable of your marketing efforts. Expert allows you to easily embed twitter feeds on your pages.
The Expert editor has a restriction on unsafe content and will not execute possibly malicious code if the user does not have the proper privileges. This includes DekiScript. If you are not assigned as an admin, you will not be able to save unsafe content in Expert.
