Yahoo! Media Player Widget

A nice release from Yahoo!
http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/

Yahoo released a new widget which allows any web owner to play media (sound or video) files with a simple link to include the media player into any webpage, and giving full control over the player.


Pros:
- Lay web users would be able to embed media easily.
- Nice slim player that can be hidden once unneeded.

Cons:
- XSS / CSRF exploits.
- Floating Player does not continue playing if a link is clicked.
