That's cool guys !
I wanna now that is there any library to stream videos on FlashPlayer ?
Why Microsoft choose the FlashPlayer instead of Media player ?

Thank you guys for this cool site.

Does the soapbox team have a blog online? I have been reporting a couple videos over and over again, and they have not been addressed - I would like to speak with somebody who has some "pull".

I'd hate to see Soapbox become just like the other video-sharing sites and have nothing more than young women shaking their breasts around in a suggestive manner.

I like the look and feel of soapbox, well designed.
I think, though, that it will be difficult to compete with MySpace and YouTube. Even Google realized this and bought up YouTube.

As mentioned in the video, when you view the site in IE, it uses Media Player and when you view the site in anything else, it uses the Flash player.

Now I am confused. Why isn't it called Windows Live Video?

Maybe a Soapbox API in the Sky will be Live Video Smiley

In terms of your justifiable confusion: Live is not a replacement for MSN... Think of Live as a set of services in the cloud. MSN remains as, well, MSN...

This does not use heavy amounts of ajax it appears...so it's not live. Smiley

Sorry to ruin your day, but removing these videos would diminish the chances of Soapbox beeing successful considerably. So I guess it won't happen.
