How to embed your videos using YouTube’s new “autodetect” method
YouTube has been playing around the HTML5 video, and so far they’re making some pretty good progress. I use their HTML5 video player to watch all the videos I play on their site.

Big List of Ping Servers
Even the world's best blog is nothing if no one can find it. Making sure your pages are indexed by search engines (and optimized for that purpose) is a good start, but you need to let some other guys know, too. Those guys are known as ping servers.
