Embedding the video in the webpage gives a great user experience, but as you say it has two issues: 1. The video URL is hard to find. This is useful when people want to remix or quote your video. 2. Feedburner doesn't pick it up (I think mefeedia still picks it up?) Anyway, it's not an either or scenario. The best way in my opinion is to do both: Embed the video directly in the webpage, but also provide a download link. For examples see: - http://www.rocketboom.com/vlog/ - http://mnstories.com/ (down at the moment) And of course use things like quicktime poster frames to avoid having ten videos load on the same page. - Andreas -- <URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ > Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. ------------------------ Yahoo!
