The Microsoft Video Portal will soon be heading your way

With some much content available in a video form, and the popularity of the video medium with both consumers and enterprise customers, we identified a need to consolidate the vast amount of video content we have in our network and make it available (and searchable, and embeddeble) to our customers. The MS.COM team stepped up and created a new portal that will be powered by Silverlight and will allow you to search, experience, embedd and email video content on http://preview.microsoft.com/video/ (which later will become http://microsoft.com/video ). An initial view of the site was available during the MIX 08 conference and you can expect to see it going live again in April (I will update you with specific date once it is available). The creation of this makes one think about the viability of creating a searchable media site for corporations. We already released a blue print for such a design with the video.show project.

Jumper movie trailer site is available in Silverlight. More to come.

We have been working with our freinds in FOX to start a serier of hosting movie mini-sites that are powered by Silverlight.

Jumper (starting playing in US theaters today) is the first one.

The actual content is hosted on our beloved Silverligth Streaming service (it is Valentine's day today afterall)

The page is localized to several markets.

Enjoy (and expect future movie mini-sites to have more functionality with Windows Live Services). It will be an exciting year.
