Viddler bumps up features including widgets

There are plenty of options when it comes to video sharing sites. YouTube has been the big player, but has been very slow rolling out features. Viddler’s big distinguishing feature is allowing comments to be placed at certain points during the video.

Now Viddler has come out with “Vidgets” (widgets, get it?) that allow you to share playlists a lot easier. If you’ve got a bunch of videos, you can easily just embed a list in several different ways. Each widget is pretty customizable and a preview shows you what to expect. Also, it looks like an easy way of embedding code once and updating via adding to the list.

If you’re a Drupal user, there is a new Drupal Module that allows you to embed video easier from Drupal. For those unfamiliar with Drupal, it is a content management system that allows you to create a blog and organize lots of your content in many different ways.

Also, you can now get access to your API key. Previous to these latest revisions, you would have to email Viddler to get access to the API key. The key lets you use plugins like the Drupal Module.

Those “Vidgets” are really the most interesting thing to come out. The different embeddable options are really handy for different layouts. If you want to spice up your blog with videos, you might want to check this out.
