MSNBC Gets Web Video Right... Almost

Checking the news this afternoon, I see that MSNBC.com is also promoting its own online video feeds. In a small rectangular box titled Video Highlights, a tiny video stream immediately loads when you view the page. And guess what, it's using Flash video! Huzzah, no pop-ups and media player loading time.

But wait.

If you click on any of the video highlight headlines, you must indeed endure the dreaded video pop-up window. And even worse, MSNBC doesn't even support Firefox! D'oh!

At least we're getting warmer...
