Free Video Hosting Coming From Microsoft
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "CONTENT" @ 06:00 PM
"In order to spur adoption of its new Silverlight platform for developing rich Internet applications, Microsoft is offering up free video hosting that falls under the company's Windows Live services brand. Microsoft is making it easier to deliver content using Silverlight by offering up its massive content delivery network that spans datacenters around the globe. Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live includes storage space of 4GB, and users can upload video segments up to 10 minutes in length."
Looks like this will be free for at least the time being and will offer DVD quality, on the surface making this look like YouTube on steroids. Digging a little deeper though, Microsoft seems to be taking this to the next level and is subsidizing the creation of content in order to support the adoption of it's platform.
