The new social publishing site Izimi claims to be the future of Internet publishing and touts a superior way to share videos than the YouTube. The site, integrating two elements named a desktop application and a website, allows you to serve files, photos, music and videos straight from your PC to anyone with a browser.

Is Izimi really a YouTube competitor?

But, the biggest loophole with Izimi is that it requires a download and moreover, you computer must be turned on for the users to have access to the files. Do they think they could ever battle YouTube while they suffer from this downside? I don’t think so.

Anyway, the company is targeting to get its users first and they will look for some advertising revenue sooner or later. One of the things that I liked about the site is that it can share tons of file types and there are no limits to the size of files and above all, there is no loss of quality.

Despite being having some sound applications, I can never think of Izimi to outrun the video-sharing giant YouTube.59715
