Embedly Pro Lets Your App Embed Content From Any Link
If you've ever shared a link on Facebook, you're probably familiar with the nifty preview image and text that it pulls in from the linked site automatically (it doesn't always show exactly what you wanted, but it's usually better than nothing). Most people never think twice about the feature, but when you encounter a similar sharing widget that doesn't do the same thing, it feels a bit archaic ? but it isn't trivial for developers to build, either. Now Embedly, the startup that specializes in (as you might guess) embedding content, has a solution. It's called Embedly Pro, and it went live this morning. The gist of it: Embedly has always offered an API that lets developers easily embed content from some 180 services, like Twitter, YouTube, and Posterous. But that API only works for those services ? if you wanted to embed an excerpt from TechCrunch, for example, it wouldn't be able to do it. That's changing with Embedly Pro, which promises to let developers generate embeds for nearly any site. Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/GXQF0QbHpDg/
