It seems that Microsoft is hoping to hop on the ever increasing popularity of social media and has posted jobs wanted postings on their website looking for a program manager for a new photo and video sharing website.
The site would be a new addition to the Live family of services and work across Spaces, SkyDrive, Messenger, and Hotmail.

"This feature team is building a next-generation photo and video sharing service that will compete with Flickr, Smugmug and other photo web solutions today,"
the job posting read. "This is a 'v1' opportunity."

Microsoft has tried a video and file sharing site before, named Soapbox but it never took off in the market.
