Izimi - unique P2B self-publishing
izimi.com is about to launch a neat way to self-publish any sort of media content, without the need to upload it anywhere and without the need for your audience to download any client software…
With Izimi you can self-publish any to anyone anywhere on the internet (all they need is a web browser). This means you can show your friends your photos and videos, in full high quality original form. You can serve any content (eg images, video, etc) straight into any website, forum, blog, or in an email. You can even serve an entire website from your own machine. You dont need any tech skills and you dont need to understand FTP or other upload techniques. Its as simple as click and save (in this case its click and publish).
How its different to social networking and user generated content sites like MySpace, YouTube, Bebo etc - because there are NO restrictions on the type, size, quality, and quantity of media that you can publish.
How its different to P2P file sharing - because P2P requires both all people to have the downloaded client on their machines. So, you cant see the stuff I publish unless you have downloaded and installed the P2P client.
How its different to Pando and Dropsend - because they still require your content to be uploaded to a server, and they then hold it for a period so your friends can connect to retrieve it.
How its different to Photobucket, Flickr etc - because like the SN sites they place restrictions on storage, file types, file size, etc. Izimi places no restrictions.
