Steve, We're working on a new version of our player that will include Creative Commons metadata display along with lots of other fun stuff :)

I think there is huge potential for all sorts of different types of 'video creation online' services, whether it be advert creation, license info, credits, other branding, or customizing other elements of the video player. Not wishing to distract from the very useful sounding advert creation feature, I call again for creative commons stuff to become a part of the blip flash player in some way, or something just like the advert generator but that adds creative commons info to the end of your video if you ask it to. Im really interested in what innovations the different services will find to incorporate into their platforms, vsocials player seems to have a lot of gubbins these days but I havent actually checked to see how useful any of it is. I wonder int he future just how much web-like clicking etc functionality will be added to videos. We used to talk about how to do it for quicktime, obviously flash is dominant now, so that gives plent yof possibilities onthe desktop. Theres no sign of the hoped for interactivity & blog-like features in some common mobile video standard, eg for ipod, psp, etc, being adopted yet, so not much progress on that front. Lately Ive been wondering how much things will evolve in the other direction - eg whether much of the web in general will become a more video-like experience. I dont know if I can make sense here, I dunno, what do I mean? More animation, more smoothly flowing information, services that turn plain text content into delightfully rich animations and interactive video type experiences. Where does this take me, back to the days of discussions about whether a true videoblog would be a video that has all of the other elements of blogging built into the video itself? And am I overlooking the whole multimedia cdrom & flash website awfulness style over function horrors of the not too distant past? Next I will be talking about wanting to watch everyones vlogs in 3D, learning nothing from the horrors and iffeficiencies of virtual reality, but unable to avoid drooling at the possibilities, no matter how flawed an experience it actually is.
