"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

An open and free video format offers new opportunities for Web programmers.

Until now, adding video has required the help of third-party software like Flash or Quicktime, and meant licensing a proprietary format. Google has signed up software firms including Adobe–which makes Flash–and Skype, which offers online video communications, as well as chipmakers including AMD, ARM, and Texas Instruments to its WebM project. Adobe will distribute WebM codecs in future versions of its Flash plug-in, while trial versions http://www.webmproject.org/users/ of the Firefox, Opera, and Chrome browsers are now available with WebM built in.
