"CNet reviews Microsoft's new video site, Soapbox.
Though browsing and uploading is easy, CNet isn't very enthusiastic
about the beta, mostly blaming this on the fact that Soapbox has
nothing more to offer than other video sites.
From the article: '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.'"
