I was going to say the same thing… Never heard of it.

And I even have Microsoft Live e-mail, web page, blog, etc. (although I don’t use them regularly).

I continue to be surprised at the amount of disk space that Google seems to be willing to devote to relatively large video files that even the originators probably value fairly little… ad hoc non-event home movies that if they couldn’t be uploaded would probably be erased to save local disk space.

If they don’t have a long-term plan for holding it all (and maybe they do) they will eventually have the PR nightmare of telling users they have a month to salvage all their content (some of which IS valuable to them).

On the other hand, MS is giving users 25 Gig to use as they wish. Quite a bit of space if everyone with Windows were to start using it as a back-up plan.

I’m pretty up on Internet sites and I had no idea that Soapbox existed.

Cute dog…
