Showtimes “The L Word” Is Big Hit on Facebook — Much More Video to Come with First Release of Flash Developer Tools

SAN FRANCISCO — Video, which is part of Facebook through the use of embeddable players and a few applications, will become much more extensive with the release of the first Flash “toolbox” for Flash developers, according to Josh Elman, Platform Manager at Facebook.

Beet.TV caught up with him at the Web 2.0 Expo conference earlier this week.

Josh tells us the Showtime’s “L Word” is a big hit, garnering “tens of thousands of comments.”

Flash powers 12 of the Facebook’s top 20 applications, he told us in this interview.
