I blogged a while ago about the solutions I am using for photo albums now - AutoViewer and SimpleViewer. Since I have had my Canon IXUS 800 compact camera, I have been taking a reasonable amount of video too, and I wanted to share that video with others. I considered YouTube for a while, but decided today to dogfood MSN's Soapbox service instead. Both meet my needs (upload videos and provide features for embedding in blog pages etc), so the Microsoft solution was the obvious choice!
I very quickly cut together some (pretty rubbish) clips from my last couple of days in Shanghai, in order to test things, and uploaded. The post-upload-processing step seemed to take a while, and so far this is my only criticism of Soapbox.
Anyway, below is the embedded version of the video:
Video: Random Shanghai video.
