Wikipedia to add video uploading support

The most popular and free online encyclopedia Wikipedia will get video support according to a new MIT report. The new video support is expected to launch within 4 months.

Contributors will be able to easily add video to posts via a new “Add Media” option. Users can then select to add videos from existing repositories including the Internet Arhive, Metavid, and existing content from Wikipedia. Users can also upload their own video and even select to embed clips rather than an entire video.

Wikipedia will also later include features to annotate videos from a web-based app.
