The soapbox team has announced that they are relaunching the new soapbox on MSN Video site. As you guys might recall it left closed beta a few months ago and since then has been in public beta for everyone with a passport account.
Whats interesting is they say they have completely reworked the system from the ground up, and it offers an even cleaner UI and improved navigation and performance.
Some of the things they say have been upgraded are…
- Scalable Page. Change the size of your browser and the thumbnails and page will scale dynamically.
- New Player with integrated Playlists and Progessive Download Indicators.
- Playlist Functionality. Each time you watch a video it is automatically added to the playlist. The Playlists can also be shared.
- Improved Fullscreen Experience.
- Video Gallery Sorts. Sort by Hour, Day etc.
- Updated Embedded Player with clean design and Playlist features
As you guys might notice from my past posts I LOVE soapbox, it’s got some of the best quality flash videos i’ve seen, and the fact its single page design that you never have to stop viewing a video to continue looking for others is amazing. Not to mention their offsite flash player is probably the sexiest most well designed and professional to date. I mean it makes youtubes gray player look like the poor cousin.
