I don't get it. Why would I want to use them instead of embedding directly?

i made a mashup using embedly a while ago -- it's cool because if you have a forum, you can use embedly to automatically embed all links etc and produce the cool dynamic experience of an image board / video site without any of the hassle

i believe reddit uses them: 1. a user creates a new post with a link that goes on youtube/vimeo/whatever 2. use embedly api to extract the video/thumbnail and show it in your site. At reddit there is a |> button to press and u can see the video. For example check this page: http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/

oEmbed is a spec. That site does nothing.

Every site is different and some don't even offer oEmbed. A ton of work has gone into embedly. You can repeat the effort, and host your own solution, or just use us. We think using Embedly is a cheaper solution.

Great news, congratulations!

Embedly seems like a great service. I haven't started using it yet, but it's definitely on my roadmap of things to do. A service that does a simple but incredibly important thing for you, without you having to worry about it.
