Microsoft has just launched it’s answer to YouTube, called MSN Soapbox.

This is a follow up to my post: Google’s Flickr Killer.
As I’ve already mentioned, a photo organizing and editing tool that runs on your computer (and not over the web) -such as Picasa- is an integral part of the equation. If I could upload straight from Picasa into Flickr, I would use my Flickr account ten times more than I do now. Since I’m using a beta version of Picasa Web Albums, I can upload directly into Google’s own web-based photo storing and sharing service. But, convenient as it is, it’s still no Flickr (or smugmug or photobucket).
These are some of the features which, in my opinion, will permit Google to turn Picasa Web Albums into the next, best Flickr:
The funny thing is, Google has already implemented these ideas in one or many of its services. So, what is taking them so long to tie them together into a killer photo storage and sharing web service?
Do you have more suggestions for Google? Post them in the comments to this article.
And Google, I’m available for hire… in case you want to boost Picasa Web Albums into hyperdrive.
