TweetLiz Gannes of NewTeeVee (GigaOM network) has a great article bringing up the fact that online video widgets (embeds from YouTube for example) have some short-comings — the video sometimes disappears (whether it be copyright / licensing issues; or the user that posted the video pulls it down; etc).

IDEA #28 – Fan-submitted Music Video Ideas
TweetI’m obsessed with music and marketing, so some of my ideas will be around music — plus, deep down, I really want to be a rock star (who doesn’t). I was just watching the video for Dark Blue by Jack’s Mannequin. The video is basically one of those 1950′s dance contests — “dance til you [...]
