Friendika. Get Started With OEmbed. Anyone with a blog will tell you: the best thing about the social media sharing revolution is the “sharing” part.
Popular sharing sites like YouTube, Photobucket and Last.fm offer embed codes, strings of code that make it easy for you to plug a video or a song (inside a small player or display wrapper) into your page. These codes work great for sites that offer them, but embed codes and options for embedding media differ greatly from site to site. And some sites don’t offer any easy sharing codes. It’s easy enough to post an image or MP3 if you know some HTML. But by now we’re deep into the age of the big “share” button — blog tools and widgets that offer no-brainer, one-click posting.
