Oh yea, I also like the integration with oEmbed. First time I've seen it. Definitely will play with embed.ly when I get the chance.

It appears that you're rendering the embedded content using AJAX? I tried pasting a YouTube link directly, and nothing happened. Wrapping it in a proper 'a href' tag triggered the embed, so I'm guessing there's no sophisticated URL-detection.

you have to put the actual link. For example, either with a <a href=""></a> or, say "link"http://url.com in textile.
