While perusing Aaron Brazell’s always great 10 things you need to know about [the latest upcoming version of WordPress] for WordPress 2.9 I noticed that it will have oEmbed support.
Back in June 2008 I added an oEmbed service to Viddler. That means that in the next version of WordPress you’ll be able to embed Viddler videos using a very simple embed code like this:

I’m looking forward to updating the Viddler WordPress plugin to support this new schema and make it even easier for WordPress users (such as myself) to embed videos from their favorite video sharing services.
