feature release: a brand new video player!

// Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 by Mario Anima

Hello Currenteers,

It’s time for another feature release on current.com! Thanks to our crafty dev team, this time around we have something that has been in the works for some time: a brand new embeddable video player!! Here are some notable new features:

  • Killer new design and slick new layout
  • New tools for share and embed — we’re going to add some functionality to the share tool in an upcoming release
  • Controls disappear during playback, but reappear when you mouseover
  • Info tab gives you the scoop on the video, a brief description, including who uploaded, and how many responses it’s received
  • A brand new end slate featuring other current videos

But enough with the talky-talky. Take it for a test drive and let us know what you think:

La Blogotheque Show Episode 2: featuring The Dodos, The Grand Archives, and an interview with Beirut frontman Zach Condon

Current News reports on the Perez Hilton and Miss California gay marraige question

CarrotMob organizes flashmobs to frequent business as a reward for eco-friendly behavior

Take our new player for a test spin, and shoot us any feedback, questions, or suggestions on our Get Satisfaction page.
