Video, Revver, Metacafe, iFilm, GoFish, PutFile and Vimeo. Unlike MSN Video which is a professional video contents site, Soapbox on MSN Video will focus on users made and contributed videos, with lots of advanced features. Currently, invitation is needed to register and sign up for Soapbox service. CNet News has managed to get an invite to join Soapbox on MSN Video. CNet reviews Soapbox and concludes that “Soapbox is disappointing. It’s a slightly better sharing service than YouTube in some small technical ways, but it doesn’t help users make money from their content like Revver does; it doesn’t have granular privacy controls like Vox; it won’t post directly into blogs for you like VideoEgg; and it won’t show videos from other networks like Yahoo Video. Given Microsoft’s position in the video sharing market (dead last), I expected a more aggressive product.” [...] [...] Soapbox on MSN Video is a new online video uploading, video hosting, video sharing, video searching and video viewing site from Microsoft that aims to compete with other video posting and video clips watching site such as Youtube, Google Video, Yahoo!
