For students of technology who are users of the Oriole interface from O’Reilly, the long-suspected addition of that capability to Safari is now official – you can obtain the Oriole experience at Safari.

O’Reilly describes Oriole as “a unique new medium that blends code, data, text, and video into a narrated learning experience with executable content.”  It’s an ideal way to leverage technology with learning that transcends existing medium.

I think it’s also a shot-across-the-bow at Lynda.com, recently acquired by LinkedIn.
