Twango voted one of the top Social Networks of 2006!
Thanks to all of you who voted for Twango in Mashable's Social Networking Awards contest. Your votes helped Twango win the Photo Sharing Site category. Now, I know you're wondering why we weren't in the video sharing category as well. Who knows? We were nominated, but Mashable chose not to include us. Maybe they were worried that we'd sweep that category too!
Thanks again for your help and Happy Holidays from your friends here at Twango!
Totally addicted to Twango? Vote for us in Mashable's social networking awards!
Update 12-27-2006: The contest is closed, but you can still vote to express that you like Twango! Mashable is monitoring the votes that come in after the deadline for fun.

Photocasting. In addition to Podcasting audio and video, Twango now offers Photocasting to Mac users via iPhoto. Click the 
button at the bottom of any channel, and your iPhoto application will create a Photocast and even sync Twango photos to your iPod. Find out how.
New audio twidget. Play your Twango audio clips in your blog or website. Just copy/paste the Embed code provided on the right side of any audio media page. You'll get an audio player like this:
And speaking of audio, we've cranked up the quality of audio in our video playback so videos with stereo music and large frequency ranges sound great.
Comparison of 15 video sharing sites
"A very powerful and complete service with video, audio and picture sharing..."
"Twango succeeds in providing a minimalistic good-looking page without splashing it with too much color or making it too bland and plain. The interface is very efficient and you get the idea that you are using a very powerful service, which I indeed think it is."
"If audience size didn’t matter, Twango would probably be one of the most enjoyable media sharing services to use."
Share Your Media Files with Twango
Posted by Colbert Low
"Are you a fan of Youtube, Flickr and Napster all at once? Would you be happy if these applications were combined into a new application, with some feel of Myspace on top of it? That is exactly what Twango is, perhaps even a little better."
"Twango is a new service developed by former Microsoft employees. It enables you to upload photos, videos, and audio - in fact, any types of files - to be shared with your friends. After you sign up with Twango (email verification required), you are provided with your personal profile page. Neat and simple."
Twango: share your media (all of it)
"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."
