Testing Soapbox
Just accepted an invitation to beta test Microsoft's
YouTube
clone,
Soapbox
. Based on a comparison of
two
videos
from the same uploaded file, it actually sounds better than YouTube. The pretty but claustrophobic
Flash
interface lets you browse while uploading. The recommendation engine should be brought forward on the video page -- online video viewers operate on
streams of consciousness
.
Soapbox embeds should click through to video pages once those pages go public. The video pages themselves should provide referring link citations. Such citations create additional incentives for sites to use embeds. That's why YouTube is one of the top referrers to this blog.
Soapbox publishes easy-to-find search feeds, albeit without embeds (which YouTube includes). As soon as some
cosplay
content shows up there, I'm adding it to the
Cosplay on the Web
widget at PinoyCosplay.com.
