ZAZOO made a big splash at SXSW
What's New & Worthy
A winning Chrome & Firefox browser plugin - As the dust of SXSW finally settles it becomes considerably easier to determine the big winners to emerge from Austin, TX.
During the 7 day period of SXSW Music, ZAZOO was the most downloaded extension in the Chrome store. And the company saw 43,000 downloads of the plugin over a 4 week period. Big-time impressions were made at The Outlaw Roadshow and at the Brooklyn Vegan party. Everybody, it seemed, that we ran into in Austin had heard of Zazoo and a great many had already just begun using it. But what is it?

Our Review: B+ for current execution and an A+ for a huge upside potential as Zazoo gets better. It's dead simple to install and intuitive to use. The version available free now is actively being developed to improve the experience.
As a publisher, a promoter and a friend to artists, I see this as a valuable tool for bands to translate those coveted video views into fan support. As a user, watching videos, the sky is the limit. I will be very, very exciting to watch this one go!
