MotionBox Goes Family-friendly

Motionbox is another video-sharing site which had to find a niche. They've re-focused on what they call "trusted family use." Shoot your video, upload it, edit it — then share it privately with family and personal friends.



The free service, launched last year, lets you upload 100 megabytes per video, and store 300 megabytes. In last November they launched “Motionbox Premium,” their subscription service at $29.99 that includes unlimited storage and “TV-quality” downloads for watching on various devices. It also launched Motionbooks, video flipbooks you can make with your personal videos. An interesting twist!

The premium service will eventually cost $34.99 a year. At least that's the plan. We'll see if it sticks ... my hunch is they will have to settle for $19.99.
