Web 2.0 Expo: Zude, A Web service so popular, it's getting reengineered
31:35 | 
Jim McNiel, CEO, and Steve Repetti, CTO of Fifth Generation Systems, dropped by my table at the Web 2.0 Expo to show off a very cool Web site tool called Zude. It was the coolest thing I saw at the Expo. Problem is, it is too cool — when they tried to release a beta they saw far more traffic than they were expecting. So the launch has been delayed as they reengineer their service. In either case it’s interesting to see what they were attempting to do.

Robert,
Thank you so much for such an amazing introduction for Zude. in many ways your comment of 400k users was prescient. Since May 2 we have increased our simulated user load to 10 million users, We have been running nasty misbehaved scripts to simulate nasty misbehaved users. Beginning next week will be inviting our early beta users to come in to a newly hardened Zude environment. I hope you will be one of them. Welcome to New York!

The platform can integrate a variety of content including photos, videos, websites, RSS feeds, gadgets, games, text and even your own rich painting and handwriting. The user has immense flexibility in manipulating the content including changing fonts, backgrounds, applying special visual effects and a lot more.
The platform is omni-functional and is capable of seamlessly transforming itself from one mode to another (e.g. from a photo album to a greeting card). Users can easily create and share their creations by publishing it online. The platform has been operational since the beginning of this year and we have thousands of users.
Give it a try. Explore. Experience.Express.
