Capzles'
PALM DESERT, Calif. and LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28 // -- DEMO 08 -- Capzles, Inc., a social media company that provides users the ability to share their stories through visually rich multimedia timelines, debuted today at DEMO 08, the launchpad conference for emerging companies and technologies. Capzles users are able to combine images, video, audio and blogs/text posts to create their dynamic, compelling story "capzles" which they can share.
Capzles offers people the means to create colorful, interactive time capsules to arrange their personal multimedia into narrative stories that others can follow step-by-step. With a savvy design, unique, easy-to-use Flash interface and robust back-end technology, Capzles provides an effective solution for anyone, from consumers to corporate brands, to share their stories. The complete Capzles experience is a broad universe of stories searchable through topics and time, and accessible through an intuitive map of time. While the stylized design and ease-of-use are compelling for users, the time-sensitive storage of valuable personal history is equally so.
"In coming up with the idea for Capzles, we realized that there weren't any companies providing tools for effective and visual storytelling," says Chris Anderson, Capzles CEO. "Storytelling is something that everyone does: consumers and companies. We created Capzles to give people a platform to tell their stories in the most significant and powerful way possible," continued Anderson.
Capzles is designed to broadly appeal to social media users, advertisers and licensing partners.
-- For social media users, Capzles is an easy, online tool for sharing a
more complete, visual representation of themselves and their stories.
-- For companies looking for new advertising solutions, Capzles provides
a richer, more informative way to reach and engage current and future
customers.
-- For partners, including media companies, Capzles is a tool for keeping
a running time narrative of valued content or properties.
Capzles will be ubiquitous on the Web. It is a social media destination site; a widget that can be easily integrated across personal Web pages and other social networking sites; and a licensed technology that can be utilized by media and corporate partners.
Capzles, Inc. was founded by Web 2.0 veterans Chris Anderson, CEO, and Jeff Sherwood, President. Capzles is currently privately funded.
