Microsoft to stream concerts & be like YouTube
"MSN, Microsoft Corp.'s Web portal, said on Tuesday it will make a big push to stream live concerts to its users after signing an exclusive global partnership with Control Room, the company behind the web broadcast of last year's Live 8 event." [Yahoo News]
"In launching Soapbox, Microsoft has its eye on the success of YouTube, which from January to June grew 297 percent to a monthly unique audience of 19.6 million, according to Nielsen/NetRatings. Key to YouTube's success has been the ability for registered users to upload video and share it with friends." [Information Week]

A friend of mine is a beta tester and says that Soapbox works great on Macs. Soapbox supports Firefox and Safari browsers.
