Embed your faves

September 15th, 2010 • updates

Today we are extremely excited to introduce our latest feature, the ability to embed other online applications such as YouTube videos, Flickr photos, Google Docs and more on Symbaloo. We have been discussing how we can make Symbaloo more fun and easy to use. Our team all came up with the same conclusion: why should Symbaloo users have to navigate to so many different sites just to enjoy their favorites? Here are the list of current applications that you will be able to embed on Symbaloo:

  • google docs
  • flickr
  • liveleak
  • picasa
  • schooltube
  • slideshare
  • teachertube
  • twitpic
  • google video
  • vimeo
  • youtube
  • twitvid
  • animoto
  • yahoo video

On this page you learn how to embed on Symbaloo.

Here are a few examples of webmixes that have been created using these new embed features. The first one is about online fun stuff and the other is on the dolphin. We’d love to see how you use the new embed features on your Symbaloo, share them here in our comments or our  Twitter and  Facebook. Is your favorite site not a part of the list? Reply with a comment listing the application and we will look into whether or not it is possible to embed.

This is just the start of the embed possibilities. We will continue adding more applications to our list of embed options, making your Symbaloo function even better.

    hmmm. I thought this was going to the ability to embed something like a widget into your own website that showed a certain webmix. I think that would be cool.

    Hi Andy,

    Thank you for using Symbaloo. Great that you ask, that is the next phase that we are working on. We will notify you when that feature is available.

    Have a great day!

    Kind regards,

    Hi Kimmie,
    I was also looking for a way to embed Symbaloo content into another website, with a widget, iFrame, or RSS feed. A lot of K-12s use LibGuides and it is easy to embed other types of content into this system. It would be really nice to embed Symbaloo content into my guides.
    Here’s a nice couple of LibGuides you can view for reference, which include all sorts of embedded video, Rss feeds, widgets, etc.

    Hi Valentina,

    You can definitely embed Symbaloo content on other sites such as wikis, blogs and more. Here is a short video explaining how to do so http://www.screenr.com/hSRs.

    If you have an account there is no need to transfer settings from one computer’s firefox to the other because all of your settings are saved to your account and all you will have to do is log in on the other computer to access your settings.
