Guidelines for website integration requests
The information below is outdated. I am no longer integrating new websites as of May 5, 2009. I will only be updating existing embeds, and adding new sites if they are really relevant to everyone, and have a really excellent Alexa rank (under 200).

- Submit only one website per topic. Put the site's URL in the subject. Don't put [To do] in the subject, I do it myself. Don't choose a message icon either.

- Before submitting, make sure it is a relatively popular website. I may integrate websites that cater to a specific "niche", and thus appeal to a handful of people only, but only if they look really professional and they really add something to the web.

- You can check out the popularity of a website by adding its domain name to this URL:
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main/

Example:
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main/noisen.com

As you can see, this very website, which is still in "beta" mode and quite experimental (basically, only my friends and I are used to posting on it), has an Alexa rating of about 1,500,000, as of January 15, 2009. As much as I like my own website, I wouldn't think of integrating its own multimedia services into Aeva. So, if I don't do it for my own websites, why should I do it for even more obscure ones?

This should be the main guideline for you. A rating under 10,000 pretty much guarantees integration, while under 100,000 will earn my consideration, and 500,000 still has a decent shot for niche targets (this represents about 2,000 visitors a day according to my personal experience.)
Above one million, please make sure you know what you're asking for. There's very little chance it will be integrated. "There can be only one." (Or a thousand, at most.)

- Use the local embedding options to make your own website's videos embed for you. Please DON'T ask me to add support for your own website to Aeva. Except maybe for pretty girls willing to go to great lengths for that. Okay, kidding.

- Now that you're sure you will ask for integration, make sure to post at least a couple of direct URLs to viewable files. They should be as "generic" as possible, and represent different possible variations if there are any. If the website doesn't offer direct links on its homepage and you don't provide any either, the request will be dropped.

- Please post some embed code if you can. Enclose it inside [code] tags. (This is not mandatory. Just good practice.)

That's all for now -- thank you.
