‘Facebook Is Coming After YouTube With Embeddable Videos’ – ‘ReadWrite’
Signe Brewster says, “If you are interested in sharing a video across the Web, you probably start by uploading it to YouTube or Vimeo. Facebook wants in on that action, and as of today allows videos uploaded to the site to be embedded elsewhere.
During an F8 keynote address Wednesday, product marketing manager Deborah Liu announced anyone can now grab the embed code from their Facebook videos. “This dramatically increases the potential reach of your content,” she said.
But not anyone’s ability to make money from video. Upload a clip to YouTube and you can get paid based on views if you let YouTube place ads in it. There’s no such arrangement on Facebook at the moment, although product management director Fidji Simo said the company is thinking about it”.
