Facebook is on fire lately with the launch of its Facebook Connect platform and opening up its data to developers outside of the Facebook walled-garden. Last night, the company launched another major initiative, this time with its Facebook Video service.
Now, videos are for the first time, Facebook videos will be 1) streamed in HD 720p, and 2) easily embeddable on third party websites. Facebook touts over 45 million videos uploaded to the service since Facebook Video launched last year, and users upload over 100,000 videos to the site per day.
YouTube quietly launched HD video on their own Friday morning, but Google has yet to make any announcements around the extend of YouTube’s HD service.
