Feel free to add your site if you also support posting of notes with autolinking, and note since when.
Open Source
See CASSIS auto_link function for a fairly good (and selfdogfooded) open source autoembed implementation for PHP&JS.
Silo Examples
Some silos autoembed image/video URLs (e.g. Facebook), some autoembed from links to pages about images/videos, though likely using link-preview technology (Twitter).
