Interesting idea. I was thinking of doing something for MP3 files, but I guess it would be quite easy to extend this to other extensions like JPGs, PNGs and GIFs.
Will probably make its way in a companion plugin that will extend support to WP’s embed list.
posting of images would be awesome.
I thought this was already possible with BuddyPress by default ?
maybe it is a default feature. I don’t know how to use it then?
well, there were guys posting images into the activity-stream at testbp.org, so not sure if oEmbed is required to post images into the Activity-Stream ???
You can post images using the regular IMG HTML code without any plugin.
eg.

What I thought you meant was typing in a link to an image which will automatically transform into that image when posted.
