Michael gave a good description of the Showinabox history. you can also see the list of plugins we're working on at http://showinabox.tv/wordpress/about/ I get most excited about how the vPIP plugin allows you to post multiple formats easily with embed code automatically generated for each one. When someone embeds your video their site, the same multiple embed code is also available there. really encourages sharing. I also love the Pledge Drive plugin that Markus is working on. It will allow you to raise money for your project from people in one lump sum, or in automatically monthly payments. Uses paypal. You'll be able to skin the widget to look and say what you want. I also love the "related videos" and "recent videos" plugin that fills your page with relevant thumbnails. this keeps your older videos from getting lost by pointing viewers to them posts. The "Visual Archive" plugin makes it easy to skim your work. example: http://ryanishungry.com/archive/ We are also sketching out custom WP themes built specifically to showcase video. we're making the install process much easier...and trying to use plain english to describe what to do. video tutorials are in the works. It's really all an open-source effort to make building a WP vlog easier...and with a lot of specific functionality for vloggers. Our time should really be spent on making video and telling good stories!
