Microsoft 'Soapbox' Takes On YouTube.→[More:]I guess you can't knock them for trying. When was the last time they had an original idea instead of trying to jump on bandwagons?
The name "Soapbox" seems very limiting. It implies that only political/activist rants are allowed, instead of stuff like home videos and such. I suppose that'd help cut down on copyrighted material ending up online, but I doubt it'll be that effective unless they're also closely monitoring uploads.
