Just today I was using Google Reader and I saw that Google Reader allows me to subscribe to a website RSS feed as normal. But if the website/vlog has the Youtube.com flash video file embeded, it uploads in Google Reader too. I have never seen that.
Try it yourself and see. Find a video on Youtube.com, copy the embeded code on your post (i used blogger) and post the entry. Then subscribe to your blog with the RSS using Google Reader. Then in Google reader you will be able to see the video just as if it was on the website. You don't have to download anything like fireant, it just a straight up flash video.Here is a screenshot of what it looks like: I thought Flash video can NOT be displayed in the RSS feed with a RSS reader? Is this true? Does anyone happen to know what RSS readers work for the Blip.tv flash? Or any Flash video that works with any RSS reader? Or is this just something Google fixed when they acquired Youtube.com? Meaning they are the 1st to do this... Blip doesn't work with google reader and that actually flash video doesn't really work with many aggregator/reader. I know about fireant works. I also spoke to some people at feedburner to see if it is something are their side... Nope.. It is all based on the RSS reader in order for the flash video to work. My assumption is that after Google acquired Youtube.com they developed a way to see embeded video in an RSS feed reader (Google Reader) Let me know, Nick Schmidt naschmult at gmail dot com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
