Is a public message at blockchain.info embedded in the actual block chain?

Question

When sending a transaction using a wallet at blockchain.info you can add a public message. This message shows up when viewing the transaction at blockchain.info.

Is this message embedded in the actual block chain or is it just a record in the database of the server of blockchain.info?

Just recorded in the database. – Nick ODell Feb 22 '13 at 20:44 — Nick ODell, Feb 22 '13 at 20:44

It did for a few days, before the blockchain.info operator concluded blockchain bloat was not good for Bitcoin. Now those are only stored on Blockchain.info hosts.
