Press Release Summary = Free and Unlimited izimi Undercuts Established Photo and
Video Hosting Websites


Press Release Body = Oxford (UK), San Francisco (USA) - June 25, 2007: izimi
(www.izimi.com) is causing nervousness amongst the leading photo and video sharing
websites by offering all users totally unlimited and unrestricted photo and video
sharing - for free. It's conservatively estimated that izimi could save internet
users well over $1bn in membership fees to photo and video hosting websites, with
individual users each saving up to $25 per year.

But it is not just about cost. izimi has a unique approach to photo and video
sharing - instead of users having to upload their photos and videos to several
different websites, which takes time, izimi makes photos and videos instantly
available direct from the user's own computer with just a few mouse clicks. Like
traditional photo hosting services, photos and videos are accessed with a simple and
persistent URL, making them easily linkable and embeddable in blogs, forums,
websites and social spaces, and URLs can also be sent easily to friends, family and
colleagues by email and instant messaging.

izimi VP, David Ingram, says, "Just a few years ago something like izimi would not
have been possible - our home internet connections were just too slow and too flaky.
But today, more and more of us are connected to fast always-on broadband internet
connections, and with that comes a greater degree of self-empowerment. izimi gives
us all a technically advanced but simple-to-use means for sharing our media and
files, whatever format they are, to anyone else on the internet without the need for
us to upload them to intermediaries and without our audiences having to get any
special software".

izimi was designed to incorporate the best elements of P2P file sharing with the
best elements of the web-based photo and video hosting services: Like P2P but
unlike upload websites, there is no need for a user to upload photos or videos that
he wishes to share - it is just 'click and instant share'. Unlike P2P but like
upload websites, a user's audience doesn't need any special software to view the
shared files - just a web browser.

That unique combination means that any person can share photos, videos, and music
literally instantly with just a few mouse clicks, yet they are available via
standard URLs and link codes so can be accessed by anyone with a web browser and
linked to and embedded in regular web pages.

About the software: izimi is free downloadable application that you install on your
computer in order to share your media and files. It is available immediately from
www.izimi.com. izimi.com also provides an entire social networking experience where
you can view users' profiles and view and comment on what they're sharing. About
the company: izimi, owned by eSeekers Ltd, was founded in 2005 and is based in
Oxford UK and San Francisco CA USA.
