Embed Facebook Videos On the Net

One of the biggest complaints about Facebook is the inability to embed videos in other places outside of Facebook. Thanks to Michael Medley, the creator of the Facebook Video greasemonkey script, that is no longer a problem. The script adds a small textbox to each video page which enables users to place the video elsewhere. I have embedded a video below of myself speaking at the first Washington, D.C. Barcamp about the Facebook platform using the script. In case you are interested I will be posting all of the D.C. Barcamp videos on my other blog. I wonder if Facebook is going to ban this. If Facebook decides to embrace this feature, they will become more of a competitor to MySpace, who’s video platform has become one of the largest on the web.

  9. Ok script works, one major problem, it no longer Validates my Web Page, if you have a valid Xhtml, the above script introduces quite a few errors, it does not validate.

    So, how can one code the above embed script without errors !
