Celebrate embedded Comedy Central vids with a ’sigh’
Steve Safran November 25th, 2006
Lost Remote has encouraged the media sites to allow their videos to be shared easily on other blogs. The best way to do that is to follow the YouTube model by allowing bloggers to embed video, right on the page. So, to celebrate the ability to embed Comedy Central video, here’s a “Word” from the Colbert Report (and his highlight of the month): “Sigh.”
We have written before that we will embed video directly from the source when the source makes it as easy to share as YouTube. We’re happy to see Comedy Central jumping in to the pool.

Congrats to Comedy Central, good stuff. Now other media companies need to launch embeddable players, ASAP.

Is the sigh meant to be comment on the effort? It reads that way. I think this is a great move in the right direction for Comedy/MTVN…

A positive *sigh.* A sigh of relief.

Hey Comedy Central’s a bit behind the times here. Over at the largest Asian TV station in the USA (think of it as Univision for Chinese and Koreans in the country) we launched an embedded player months ago. Our site (www.la18.tv) is clocking over a million streams a month now without a dime paid in site marketing. We kind of figured if people like the You Tube/Google Video experience might as well as go with it.
