Free and Unlimited izimi Undercuts Established Photo and Video Hosting Websites
Oxford (UK), San Francisco (USA) - June 25, 2007: izimi (www.izimi.com) is causing nervousness amongst the leading photo and video sharing websites by offering all users totally unlimited and unrestricted photo and video sharing - for free. It’s conservatively estimated that izimi could save internet users well over $1bn in membership fees to photo and video hosting websites, with individual users each saving up to $25 per year.
But it is not just about cost. izimi has a unique approach to photo and video sharing - instead of users having to upload their photos and videos to several different websites, which takes time, izimi makes photos and videos instantly available direct from the user’s own computer with just a few mouse clicks. Like traditional photo hosting services, photos and videos are accessed with a simple and persistent URL, making them easily linkable and embeddable in blogs, forums, websites and social spaces, and URLs can also be sent easily to friends, family and colleagues by email and instant messaging.
Marc Lyne, CEO and David Ingram, VPizimi VP, David Ingram, says, “Just a few years ago something like izimi would not have been possible - our home internet connections were just too slow and too flaky. But today, more and more of us are connected to fast always-on broadband internet connections, and with that comes a greater degree of self-empowerment. izimi gives us all a technically advanced but simple-to-use means for sharing our media and files, whatever format they are, to anyone else on the internet without the need for us to upload them to intermediaries and without our audiences having to get any special software”.
izimi was designed to incorporate the best elements of P2P file sharing with the best elements of the web-based photo and video hosting services: Like P2P but unlike upload websites, there is no need for a user to upload photos or videos that he wishes to share – it is just ‘click and instant share’. Unlike P2P but like upload websites, a user’s audience doesn’t need any special software to view the shared files - just a web browser.
That unique combination means that any person can share photos, videos, and music literally instantly with just a few mouse clicks, yet they are available via standard URLs and link codes so can be accessed by anyone with a web browser and linked to and embedded in regular web pages.
About the software: izimi is free downloadable application that you install on your computer in order to share your media and files. It is available immediately from www.izimi.com. izimi.com also provides an entire social networking experience where you can view users’ profiles and view and comment on what they’re sharing. About the company: izimi, owned by eSeekers Ltd, was founded in 2005 and is based in Oxford UK and San Francisco CA USA.

izimi in rap
At the recent San Francisco New Tech Meetup - http://newtech.meetup.com/ - the most unusual 60-second open mic slot of the evening was definitely izimi's! izimi VP of Product, David Ingram, stood up to make his presentation, only to have the mic taken from his hands by local San Francisco rapper and freestyle artist Tommy. Tommy went on to rap the 60 second slot and the crowd went wild. When he'd finished he nonchalently handed the mic back to a speechless Ingram!
izimi enables you to publish and serve files, photos, music and videos, in fact anything, straight from your PC to anyone with a browser. A new version of izimi with many enhanced features will be available in a few weeks.
(NB: this video is being 'live shared' straight from the izimi CEO's home PC)

izimi gets superb launch reviews
The Web 2.0 internet publisher/social network start-up called izimi, which went live 5 March 2007, has managed to get itself some great post-launch reviews. The service turns your PC into a personal web server and gives a persistent URL to every file you decide to publish - that's any file of any type and size!Here's an idea of the reaction it's getting from the media and bloggers:
FT.com: 'izimi in PC file sharing advance' by Chris Nuttall
"An internet service that allows users to bypass social networking sites and host their own videos, pictures and other files launches on Monday. izimi takes to its logical conclusion the Web 2.0 trend of users having more control of their internet content. It allows them to serve material from their own computers instead of uploading it to a website, such as MySpace, or Flickr, the photo-sharing site."
The Social Networking weblog: 'No More Uploading Music and Videos'
"izimi is a new kind of social networking site. On your izimi profile page you can have as many music, video and picture files as you want. Unlimited content of anything you want!"
Computer Active: 'New website turns your PC into a file sharing server'
"Uploading of any type of file visible to all on website - A new website called izimi has launched that allows you to upload any kind of file for sharing with the world. Files are hosted on your PC and made visible on izimi's website."
internetnews.com: 'A New Angle, Peer-to-Web Publishing'
"If YouTube and reality television haven't already given most folks the 15 minutes of fame predicted by Andy Warhol, perhaps izimi will do the trick."
TechNewsWorld: 'The Next YouTube' by Rob Enderle
"Every once in a while, I run into a product that gets me to stop, pause and rethink things, and last week I had such an experience. izimi, which launches today, is such a product....It's worth checking out. As we think about what happens when we move to the next generation of broadband, instead of going the Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Latest News about Google direction where everything is hosted, things could come back to everything being local. Peer architectures could rule, pushing the pendulum back to where Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) Latest News about Intel and Microsoft would like it to be -- in the home and closer to the client. I actually think this would be a really cool part of the new Home Server platform, since that product is designed specifically to do things like this......."
Memex 1.1: 'izimi - self-hosted user generated content'
"izimi places the power right in your hands, where it should be - it’s a truly democratic web. With izimi there’s no need to upload your content to any server: you decide what you’ll publish, there are no limits on quantity or quality ([it] won’t degrade your videos, photos or music), and you retain ownership and control."
The Web Pitch: 'The Top 25 Web 2.0 Start Ups from the UK'
"izimi - Self-publishing, being able to serve files, photos, music and videos up from your computer to friends through their web browsers."
North River: 'izimi'
"One company we will discuss is izimi, the new file sharing software. Basically, izimi obsoletes YouTube. This is a phenomenon I advised customers about over a decade ago when I demonstrated that when information costs fall far enough, strange things happen."
I'm only blogging to be trendy: 'Middleware players'
"Today Ive come across izimi. This thing rocks for many reasons. Primary among which is that its another Web20 UK start up.. we cant have enough..really. At the moment, it allows you to upload anything to a social environment... yes... anything.. so you tag it and push it out and send the links to your mates..nifty."
Indian Inside - Technology, Entertainment and Me: 'Turn Your PC into a Media Server with izimi'
"izimi allows you to serve files, photos, music and videos straight from your PC to anyone with a browser …Full Control of your media and that too totally FREE of cost ! isn't that interesting ? No uploading business and no hosting hassles too.. You can just publish and serve any file type, any size, any quantity to anyone – all [they] need is a web browser."
Go2Web2: The Future of Internet Publishing
"izimi is a new SUPER application that allows their users to share any file (type or size), right from their machine to the web in no time!"
That's not a bad start!

izimi to Redefine the Future of the Internet with the World’s First Peer-to-Browser Self-Publishing Social Network
izimi allows users to easily serve text, photos, music and videos straight from their own PC to anyone, anywhere, without uploadsSan Francisco and London, March 5th 2007: izimi (pronounced i-zee-mee) today announced the launch of a desktop application that allows users to serve an unlimited number of files to the Internet directly from their own PC - with just a simple URL. The free izimi Internet self-publishing application is the first of its kind to place no restrictions on file type, size or quality that users can share without the need for recipients of the URL to register or download any client application. Just click on the link and access the file directly with just a web browser.
“The Internet is a rapidly changing space and izimi is the next logical step in the user-generated content, social media and social networking phenomenon taking place today by enabling users to easily share all types of content with anyone with a web browser,” says Marc Lyne, CEO of izimi. “Using izimi’s simple service, people are now able to completely control their own media without relying on external servers. izimi is right on the curve of this fundamental change of truly empowering users to self publish and self manage their own content.”
The main element of izimi, the self-publishing application, is supported by a social networking website, creating the choice for users to publish content on their own terms as well as connect with other users to promote and share content of their choice.
The izimi application
The izimi application (available for free download at www.izimi.com) enables users to easily publish and serve files (photos, documents, music, videos – in fact, anything they choose) straight from their PC to anyone with a web browser.
izimi’s smart technology gives users the ability to publish content with no restriction to blog pages, forum postings, social networking profiles, classifieds, or any website. izimi removes the need for users to upload their files to online content-sharing sites, instead using secure peer-to-browser techniques to connect other users directly to the files on the publisher’s own PC. Unlike normal peer-to-peer applications, recipients don’t need any client software to view published content - just a web browser - making content published with izimi universally available to anyone.
The izimi website
The web site (www.izimi.com) complements the izimi application and provides a social networking environment around users and their content. Anyone can use www.izimi.com without downloading any software and without having to sign in - even if they don’t actually publish anything.
Registered users get their own profile plus additional community features including comments, rating, adding friends, adding favorites and messaging. Any content published using the izimi application is also available to be searched and found on the website, making www.izimi.com the world’s first self-publishing social network with the widest variety of user generated content.
What does izimi mean to different people?
izimi can be used for a variety of tasks whether you are a consumer or professional. Typical examples include:
- A budding photographer or artist can publish and publicise their art, and gain critique from the art community via izimi
- A director or producer of small films can publish content using izimi, receive rave reviews and make it available to distributors and other interested parties
- A musician can make available their latest songs and garner ratings from other users, in the hope of securing that big record deal
- An academic can publish his/her latest whitepaper using izimi to share with their specific educational community
- Any type of media user can use izimi as a single self-sufficient source, to publish all their content for their social networking and media services (e.g. social network profiles, blogs, web sites, etc)
“izimi simply lets anyone publish and serve content of their choice to anyone else on the Web, and without them needing any technical know-how,” continues Marc Lyne. “izimi is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to publish anything - it’s true democratization of the Web.”

All they need is a web browser! This means you can show your friends and family your stuff in their full high-quality glory, directly from your own PC.

It actually turns your PC into a personal web server so your content (eg images, video, etc) gets served straight into any website, forum, blog, or in an email. It will also be searchable from within izimi.com. You can even serve an entire website from your own machine. You don't need any tech skills and you don't need to understand FTP or other upload techniques. It's as simple as Click and Save (or in this case - Click and Publish!)
How is izimi different from other social networking and user generated content sites like MySpace, YouTube, Bebo etc?
There are NO restrictions on the file type, size, quality and quantity of media you can publish.
How is Izimi different from other P2P file sharing sites?
P2P requires both people to have the downloaded client on their machines so others can't seethe files you publish unless they have downloaded and installed the P2P client.
How is izimi different from Pando and Dropsend?
These sites require your content to be uploaded to their servers where it is held so so your friends can retrieve it.
How is izimi different from Photobucket, Flickr etc?
Like the SN sites, they place restrictions on storage, file types, file size, etc. Izimi places no such restrictions.
