First YouTube, now Vimeo. Not to mention Firefox’s adoption of the HTML5 standard. The ability to quickly embed videos using built-in HTML5 might soon spread around the internet, at least as long as the big browsers support it – Microsoft, update your browser for once. (At the moment, [blippr]Chrome[/blippr], [blippr]Safari[/blippr], [blippr]Firefox[/blippr], and Chrome Frame for [blippr]Internet Explorer[/blippr] all operate fine.)
This could be a bold step for almost all of the internet video companies, as they strive to set the new standard and, as Gizmodo puts it, “jumping into bed with HTML”.
Flash, as you might have noticed, makes up a huge proportion of interactive content on the internet. Whether it be simple embedded games, video-sharing websites or banner ads, Flash covers it all. However, it’d seem that HTML5 volunteers to change that, perhaps forever.
We may have more to say about HTML5. Keep tuned.
