Know someone that has a Wordpress.com outside blog that wants to be able to embed custom video widgets there without having to upload the videos again to Wordpress?
Did you know that there is now a way to upload real estate videos and podcasts to a site and get access to code that works on Wordpress.com blogs or other blogging systems that block certain types of code without doing anything special? Our example is likely best demonstrated on a Wordpress.com blog:
Click the above link to see the widgets in action on a live wordpress.com blog. The new widgets do the full range of things that normal videos widgets do - they report back the location of the widget, the number of times rendered, and the number of clickthroughs. They also autoupdate on the page when you change the title, photo, language of content, or the size of widget. Soon, we'll add all of our different non-branded designs.
You can see examples of the regular widgets side by side with their wordpress counterparts here: http://vidlisting.com/beta/e.htm
Making video content discoverable means getting your content where others cant while still providing marketing feedback. The new widgets work with Real Estate Shows and Youtube videos too.
I'm unaware of any other video hosting sites that are making this capability available. This feature is live at Vidlisting for all newly uploaded videos at http://upload.vidlisting.com - we plan on backporting the capability to existing videos over the next week as time as resources permit.
Let me know if this feature is helpful or not....
