   Is the service is popular enough for core developers to have heard of it
 before? Is it “mainstream?”

 I don't know how to evaluate this but recent press indicates ~10m users.

   If similar services are already supported, how does this service compare
 in terms of size, features, and backing?

 Animoto is a simple tool for creating video from photos, music, and text.
 There is no equivalent tool supported right now.

   Does this service have a large following on Twitter, Facebook, or other
 social media?  Is its Twitter account verified?

 @animoto is verified.

   Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented?
 Sometimes, they are just a developer’s pet project that may not be
 supported.)

 Documentation: http://help.animoto.com/entries/109992-oEmbed-API

   Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers,
 such as through robust APIs?

 There are a number of integration options detailed here:
 http://animoto.com/developer

   How old is the service?

 Animoto is 7 years old.

   Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article? (Seriously.)

 I don't know what "well-established" means but here's the article:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animoto

   Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in some
 way, whether adding it as an oEmbed provider, creating a shortcode, or
 leveraging other APIs of the service? Do these plugins have any noticeable
 adoption or traction that would indicate usage and demand?

 Animoto wrote a plugin. I don't really know how to judge the "demand"
 aspect but apparently it was high enough to justify inclusion in
 wordpress.com.

   Is the provider frequently proposed?

 I don't have access to data to say either way.
