thanks for your comment. You wouldn’t be biased by the fact that you work for Microsoft, would you?

Blip and Soapbox are almost similar, however, The Embed Soapbox Player seems to be amazing with playlist, info etc.

If it was not pure hatred for the Microsoft brand or if google had released it, I am pretty sure people would have praised Soapbox, as if it has been sent from Heaven as gift of the God.

You chose an interesting word in your headline - “killer”. This is a word that’s often used whenever Microsoft realises that they better get their skates on and try to catch up with another company who has a runaway success on their hands.

The Xbox was supposed to be “the PlayStation killer.” When news of the Zune first came to light, some analysts suggested that Apple start preparing for the iPod’s funeral. And of course Windows Live Search was going to drive a dagger through the heart of Google.:-)

I’d imagine that YouTube will remain in pole position for some time to come, with Soapbox and all the other similar services taking the also-ran places.

But maybe you were being tongue-in-cheek when you wrote that headline?

The quality of the clip is pretty good though. I can almost see my in-laws’ back garden in the hills above Monkstown.
