It has been recently announced that Google has taken over YouTube for the sum of ยฃ900,000,000 (check out all the zeroes!), but Microsoft are also starting their own attempt at this video sharing malarkey.

The site is mostly using flash elements for its interface, but it does look promising although having Google video and YouTube joining forces, Microsoft have an uphill struggle in front of them!

Google tried with google video, failed and went with youtube. Microsoft really needs to learn the lesson that inivative works and just duplicating doesn’t. They have a history of doing poor same products which lessen their successes in inviation. Recreating the wheel just really doesn’t work very often.
