NPR Open API

This is exciting stuff. I sure hope other radio broadcasters will embrace this Open API.

NPR looks to developers for help distributing shows
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-9993420-93.html

What NPR wants is for developers to help make it easier to share its content on Web sites and blogs, including those owned by the 860 NPR member stations.
[...]
"This launch represents one of the first comprehensive Open APIs introduced by a major national media organization"

I'm eager to learn more with what they will present this week at OSCON.

Object/Embed Start Playing From Current Frame

Just in case you haven’t seen this yet.
A neat little feature about Viddler. It allows you to share its video clips with object/embed code (nothing new here). It gives the user the option to Start Playing From Current Frame. Kewl.
