- kes 16y agoHow does Embedly make money?
- arthurgibson 16y agoComing soon....http://pro.embed.ly/ http://pro.embed.ly/
- celalo 16y agoany clues? I bet it is going to be a freemium model.
- timmaah 16y agoTo someone who has never heard of your startup before, your front page doesn't do much to explain what you do. Something to do with embedding content not just a link. What do I do from there? Your call to action button is a link to the api and the jquery plugin goes to a github page where I have to checkout the repository to try the demos.
- arthurgibson 16y agoDefinitely by design right now. We want to streamline the effort of applications, sites and developers to get access to our service. Feel free to use our contact form if you have other questions.
- gokhan 16y agoIn my case, their landing page was more than enough. I was searching for exactly this service for my social network startup. Found Embedly, navigated to api docs, went live in just an hour or two. Great service, I almost forgot it's there until seeing this thread.
- hristov 16y agoI figured out what they do by pressing on "documentation." Definitely not ideal, most website visitors will not want to click on a button called documentation. But the documentation was clearly written. I figured out how it works after reading the first page. One note to Embedly: the first example in your documentation includes a link to a blogging site that no longer exists. You might want to change that so your customers do not think your service is old or abandoned.
- zalew 16y agoMy question is, what does embedly solve that oembed doesn't?
- percept 16y agoFYI, homepage without Yanone Kaffeesatz (had to look that one up): http://i.imgur.com/E9lee.png http://i.imgur.com/E9lee.png
- Raphael 16y agoGood. Embedly is one of the few startups that is actually doing something useful to everyone.
