Microsoft's YouTube Rival Arrives In Public Beta

Microsoft's YouTube Rival Arrives In Public Beta

Once again, Microsoft is late to the party. They have a lot of ground to make up in terms of gaining web share from Youtube. There are a couple other user-submitted video services that will pose a challenge for Microsoft. One them being liveleak.com. The site offers visitors a harsher and mature video selection, but there is no denying that the site is getting attention. They have been climbing up the rankings for a while.

In recent years, it seems MS is often playing catch-up. Here is a handful that comes to mind:

Apple Ipod -> Zune
Google Maps -> Maps
Google search -> Live
Mozilla Firefox -> IE 7 (took many features from the Fox.)
