Twango: share your media (all of it)
By Chris Van Patten
"Twango though, seperates itself from other media sharing sites like YouTube or Odeo. It doesn’t just handle one type of media — it handles them all."
"Everything about this site is optimized not just for viewing media, but for passing it along to friends and family. Every page has a "Share" button, where anyone (registered or not) can easily send along their picks to loved ones. Further, each browsing page has a unique desktop-esque feature. Your mouse pointer is transformed into a crosshair, and you’re able to "drag and select", treating the audio/video/photo thumbnails as if they were desktop icons! These selections can then be added to your favorites. It may seem like a simple feature, but it’s one of the fantastic advances that Web 2.0 has brought us."
"Twango is YouTube, Flickr, and Odeo smashed into one application. It’s a site with an apparently active userbase and a committed developer team. The use of AJAX is sparse but effective, and the organization and design make the site easy from all angles."
