videos – embedded or on YouTube?

by site editor Rick McCharles

On this site I try to give you a choice between watching videos on the same page. Or by jumping to YouTube or another site.

It’s faster to watch the embedded video. AND embedded YouTube videos normally do not have those annoying overlay ads.

note - ad text is sometimes inappropriate

If you’re in a hurry, just watch the embedded video.

But when you jump over to YouTube you have the option of watching a higher resolution version. You can comment. Rate videos. And see more links to related videos.

It’s nice to have a choice.

The future looks bright. YouTube and Vimeo have begun replacing “memory hog” Adobe Flash format videos with the new HTML5 standard.

The sooner that happens for you, the better.
