“Flash Player is dead. Its time has passed... It crashes a lot. It requires constant security updates. It doesn't work on most mobile devices. It's a fossil, left over from the era of closed standards and unilateral corporate control of Web technology.” The words of the Occupy Flash have come true.
Earlier this year, Facebook launched an embedded video player. To ease integration between the player and third party websites, Facebook has now announced API access to the player. In addition to the API, Facebook now supports the oEmbed open standard, which simplifies embedding Facebook material.
Professional information services provider Penton this week announced the launch of a new API store that will enable customers to integrate Penton’s data into their applications.
