Comeeko is a very interesting place to get creative (funny) with a series of photos you have and convert them into comics. After registering yourself, Comeeko lets you create photo comics. You can upload your pictures and add text and effects. Just drag & drop the object into the panel while you’re editing the photo.
We contacted the people behind Comeeko to know more about the innovation. Neil Pentland, the CEO, Golden-Orb Technologies, told us that the servers are located in the USA, while the research and development is done on the Gold Coast, Queensland Australia.
Comeeko is more about just fun though. Neil said the service can play a vital role for the community and Golden-Orb Technologies are already talking with Governments about the practical and educational benefits Comeeko can offer.
Also, Comeeko and Golden-Orb Technologies have recently been rewarded for their success with a nomination as an iAwards finalist.
Neil said he was excited at the prospect of becoming an iAwards winner, and it would be a huge boost for Comeeko in Australia and overseas.
We also asked few other questions like:
Q. What kind of response are you getting from masses at large? How far have you reached in growing your community?
Neil: This has been beyond our expectations.
Q. What is the difference between Pikipimp.com and Comeeko.com, as both create photo comics?
Neil: The Pikipimp service takes only a couple of minutes to create. The Comeeko is about story telling - the average person spends about 14 minutes creating their comic.
Q. Do you vie anybody, I mean any archrivals who you want to out-do?
Neil: The internet is a huge place. There are clones already entering our space.
Q. Neil, the whole Internet, of course, as a media, is moving towards Web 2.0. How far do you think the phenomenon has emerged successfully? And where do you find Comeeko.com in this wide gambit?
Neil: Web2.0 is about delivering interactive services. At this time, the translation of this to a real business has been an issue. We believe we have solved this problem. Comeeko is one of a number of novel services that attracts interest and will drive revenues to allow us to continue to provide these services.
Q. What is the future of this networking? Any predictions on growth pattern?
Neil: Our growth is expected to continue to be in the triple figures for the next few months, then grow at perhaps a 50% rate after that.
Q. Finally, we would like to have your thoughts on the Instablogs News Network and all its related sites. Which one is your favorite?
Neil: I have had a read of the articles and think the concept is great. I find all the elements of the blog to be enticing and I use it on a daily basis - I like cricket and enjoyed that report under the sport banner.
Last but not the least, we’d like to thank Neil Pentland for sparing time for an email interview and would like to wish him luck for his future endeavors.
