Ask HN: Does anyone out there embed a lot of video?

6 points·njoglekar··10 comments

Hey guys, I am looking for a few people that embed a lot of videos on their site / blog so I can ask some questions.

Thanks for any and all help.

I use free WordPress (dotcom, not the self-host software). I used to embed a lot from YouTube. But found it affected loading times. When possible, I would put the video after the -More- break. Don't know if that helps at all.

EDIT: For clarification.

Putting the video after the 'more' break really does help significantly. We did that on our company blog.

We are making a super video embed to help drive traffic to blogs / websites. Would you be interested in trying it out?

Technical q's or content related?

I used to work at YouTube and wrote a lot of their player embed and API code, so if it's technical I might be able to answer some q's.

More content related, but love to pick your brain about SEO - can you shoot me an email neil at reelsurfer.com. What are you doing now?

I used to work at ClearChannel, and I worked on sites with lots of video embeds (e.g. Rush Limbaugh, Jim Rome, Coast to Coast, etc.).

love to learn what these sites were looking for - we are building a super embed and want it to kick ass

I worked with brightcove so I could answer questions/give insights.
