That said, the usability of the site can be improved. It was not immediately intuitive how to add and move pictures and videos around, and how to create a widget. The option Options should be removed from the dropdown bar as users have to click twice to use its functions.
There are also several technical issues that are most likely due to Flash and Java. My videos don't seem to be playing in the Box and the buttons and fields appear unlabelled. For the same reason, it is very much slower to navigate and use than other photo and video sharing sites.
Still, I'll be sticking with this for a while. It's a fantastic product and I expect a much higher uptake once the bugs are ironed out. The Box's interface is simply beautiful and beauty is what attracts people to add them to their sites.
This review was based on a one-time user experience, just as a regular user would use it. Many thanks to Box.net for this cool widget and for the kind sponsorship.
