Cozimo has a new neat image and video annotation widget

By Heri Mar 31st 2008 in Business

Cozimo, whic was featured both at DEMO 08 and StartupCamp, and which offers a real-time collaboration service to work on digital media, has an interesting new plugin that also allows collaboration on wordpress blogs, or any website for that matter.

I thought that a simple demonstration would be more efficient than trying to explain what it does.

You can draw on those images, annotate, pan & zoom, chat with other connected users etc

I find this very promising and thought it opened new usage opportunities. Cozimo is targeted at creatives types, but this could be used by everyone, Youtube-style, although the UI would need to be streamlined for this kind of usage.
