The response from the first version of the bookmarklet has been pretty strong. It has now been updated a little, based on the comments we’ve received, and hopefully you’ll find it even more useful.

Changes in beta 0.2

• Sharing via Twitter now works, even when logged out of Twitter.com.
• Window is now resizable.

To upgrade or install

To update your bookmarklet, just delete the old one, and use this new one: ViddlerPop!

As always, if you have any questions, just ask.

I like watching video in Viddler’s player.  All of my favorite podcasts are now using Viddler including WineLibrary TV, DiggNation, Two Guys on Beer, just to name a few.  But sometimes I don’t like keeping a browser tab open to watch these longer videos while I’m doing other things like surfing the Web, writing code, or replying to the endless amounts of email I seem to get.

This is where ViddlerPop!, a new bookmarklet we’re playing with, comes in and saves the day.  Now instead of keeping a browser tab open dedicated to a Viddler video, I can watch this video in its own window.

Here is a quick video demonstration of how this first version works.

Please leave us some feedback to let us know what you think of the bookmarklet, how you’d like it to improve, and if you find any bugs.  Thanks in advance!

Installation

To install ViddlerPop! just drag the ViddlerPop! link to your browser’s bookmarks bar - or, right-click and “Add to bookmarks”. I believe in Firefox it is right-click and “Bookmark this Link”.
