Facebook Launches HD Video

Last night Facebook announced that they’ve upgrade their video service. There are a couple exciting upgrades. First, videos are now HD quality. This isn’t a surprising upgrade considering that YouTube has also upgraded their video service. The second upgrade is the ability for users to embed videos outside of the site. This feature was previously only available via a Facebook embed greasemonkey script which we wrote about over a year ago.

It’s great to see Facebook upgrading their video product but I’m somewhat surprised that it took Facebook this long to enable video embedding.
