From the developer
Evan Solomon's own description of oEmbed in Comments, lightly tidied.
oEmbed is an easy way to embed media. It turns links into embedded content automatically. WordPress has supported it in posts for a while, but not in comments. This plugin uses the oEmbed support already in WordPress and adds it to comments.
