We have been early adopters of Cozimo (www.cozimo.com) and have seen it mature into a simple to use but very functional tool for a wide array of still and video (motion) based formats. In terms of a client review tool it has been invaluable in getting people to either interactively meet on-line with telephone conferencing or leave comments, draw sketch overlays, etc. off-line when they are free for stills and animation drafts. The feature of having user's comments show up as bookmarks on the timeline of an animation allows people to get right to the point on a given issue. We are excited about how a growing interest in this area will aid in its evolution and normative way of working.

They handle all the usual mark-up and commenting, but also provide version control so you can track a design through multiple versions. They also manage multi-page designs, which none of the others seem to do.

Usually just email people and ask them what they think about whatever but this way all the feed back is in one place. As for artworks/designs, I will still prefer simply posting it on public websites that specialize in whatever. Still pretty cool though. I'll bookmark it. On a side note, I found some really cool products (Spoiltchild's Toddle, readbag, backboard) and people (popurl creator Thomas) on this article/comments. Very interesting.

I could see that being very compelling. @Khang Toh - We do indeed have a lot more exciting functionality in the pipeline! We just wanted to put something out there for people to get started with and give us feedback. If you have any specific feature requests, feel free to contact me. @Alan - I think some of the stuff we have planned will completely change the game, but I'm excited to see your product. Good luck!

Good site...great GUI. But as mentioned before might be just a tad too simple for today's cluttered web. Perhaps the ability to add comments as overlays/tags (like Flickr). And maybe a modified ShareThis service. Good stuff though. Yo! Good site…great GUI. But as mentioned before might be just a tad too simple for today’s cluttered web.

Whatever they have is really as Mike puts it "too simple". I hug the motion of KISS but if it's too simple that it does not provide any real reasons of use, then that's where I don't see it being useful. I think they might have more up their sleeves.
