CNN Wants to Go Viral: Enables Embeddable Videos
The embeddable viewer is pretty standard and currently only allows playing one single clip at 384x216. We weren't able to determine if CNN is restricting this service by geography, but at least our Canadian friends have reported that they could play play the embedded videos without a problem.
As Erik Berlin also points out, offering embeddable video should be a no-brainer for content producers. Indeed, one could argue that the success of entertainment sites like Hulu can at least be partly attributed to the fact that their videos can be embedded. Among some of the recent converts to embeddable video are the Internet outpost for South Park, which is making clips from all episodes of the popular animated show available for embedding. MSNBC enabled embedding in January this year and both CBS and ABC announced the availability of embeddable clips from news and entertainment programs.
