MSN Video and Soapbox Launch Out Of Beta In The US

Filed Under Microsoft 

The new MSN Video makes it easier for you to find and discover the breadth of video content from more than 40 leading video content providers, as well as video from across the Web. MSN Video now also integrates Soapbox user-generated videos directly into the same easy-to-use destination, and enables people to search and browse the entire MSN Video catalog while concurrently watching a video on the same page. With the relaunch you can now do an integreated video search and find videos from MSN Video, Soapbox User Videos, and the Web, all on one page.

A couple of online quotes about the new service include:

“Surprise, MSN has built the video site of the future… while other sites (like YouTube and MySpace) keep pumping out the pageviews and trying to figure out how to best run ads – this new MSN Video site has hit on a formula that will likely represent the video portal of the future” Marshall Kirkpatrick- Read/Write Web

“Although this might sound even more annoying to viewers than the ’standard’ way of displaying ads, it should be noted that users who like to click on many videos and only watch a couple of seconds of each clip will surely prefer time-based advertising.” Stan Schroeder – Mashable
