Scivee and Jove videos for scientists
-
Scivee[1] and Jove[2] are two web 2.0 services, similar to youtube, that aggregate videos for scientists.
The first, scivee, is a sort of youtube, where researcher can comment out other articles in the form of a video.
The second, Jove, is a true scientific journal in which videos represent results of experiments or protocols.
It would be very useful to be able to embed videos from these sources in wordpress.com blogs.
Can you please implement this functionality? Thanks :)
p.s.: here you can find a better description of these videos:

You might be able to include them in a Vodpod widget in your sidebar; it can accomodate even video formats that WP.com itself does not support, so it seems.

Hi – I’m with Vodpod. Just wanted you to know you can post videos to your wordpress.com blog from 1000s of sites with our browser button. You can get it here (either a Firefox extension, or bookmarklet for IE, Firefox, Safari):

This works with any site that offers videos with “embed codes” (special code that allows you to post the video to another site or blog). Unfortunately, the two sites listed above don’t provide embed codes for their videos (I’d suggest you contact them and ask them to start offering that).
If you use the Vodpod sidebar on your blog, you can display videos from thousands of sites there as well. Here’s the link to sign up. Here’s an example of the widget on my wordpress.com blog:
