Today we’re adding a new feature to Extravigator that we’ve been working on for a little while. We all know how great it is to be able to talk about your favorite hotels and restaurants with like-minded travelers. And sharing photos has been both helpful and a lot of fun as well. But, wouldn’t it be great to be able to take videos and share them with your fellow travelers?

We thought so, too. And so, today we’re happy to announce that we are adding the option for members to add Videos into their Extravigator discussions and comments. Currently, the discussions support four popular sources for videos: YouTube, Google Video, MySpace Videos and a newcomer, Trivop videos. That should be more than enough to get everyone started.

In order to be able to embed a video into a comment, you’ll need to have HTML formatting turned on in your Discussion Preferences and active for the particular post you are embedding video in. Once you’ve got that covered, all you need to do is find the ID number for that particular video and then choose one of the corresponding embed codes:

  <video type="youtube">video-id</video>

  <video type="google">doc-id</video>

  <video type="myspace">video-id</video>

  <video type="trivop">hotel-id</video>

That’s it! We hope you enjoy this feature, and use it to share all sorts of eye-popping things with the Extravigator community. We can’t wait to see what you have to share with everyone.
