This is a bad measurement. Technically-inclined people are more likely to
fine-tune their web browsing experience. The best metrics would be of
d-p-l.org visitors.
However, making the website accessible without JS is so easy, it's not
really worth arguing about.
Reminder: there are people in this community (myself included) who have
web programming experience and would gladly help out. Don't be afraid to
ask.
You'd probably see it if you enabled javascript. The idea is that
streaming Twitter news adds dynamism to the page, which encourages
repeat visits. I don't see anything wrong with using such a technology
to keep people informed. We're not in the business of creating news
aggregators.
Speaking of which, the twitter widget needs to be placed in an iframe so
that it doesn't block the page load (inline scripts cause browsers to stop
parsing the page until the script is loaded and executed, which creates a
network dependency on a website we don't control).
