Rory Meets Da Team

By now, you've heard of MSN's Soapbox video site where you can upload your own videos and share your creativity and message with the world, for free, etc...
Well, that sounds happy and nice, but we want to know how Soapbox actually works, how it's architected/designed for scale, and why they made it the way they did. Who better to talk to about this stuff then Soapbox development lead Rafael Sagula? Tune in.
Check out the Soapbox video on 10. You can find invites there too

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.
Please invest in a BlueTooth mic. The sound quality leaves much to be desired.
The content was great! Keep up the good work!
