Hello Krishna,
Noticed that you have had the domain since Dec. 06 and still no LOGO GRAPHIC/BANNER/POSTER for your site at the address (zumezu.org).
A little sweat equity before the expo may net you a little more interest in your project if you could at least have something that distinguishes you from someone with only an idea. It is not hard to get someone to create a logo for you at the spur of the moment.
I looking for cofounders with technical background. please see details below:
1 ZuMeZu: company description
Zumezu is an advanced image compositing portal (in other words, a widget maker somewhat like Slide, Picnik and Rockyou) We use the word portal in a generic sense of doorway, and not just in the sense of a web portal. So, Zumezu is essentially a doorway to compositing.
The founders of Zumezu envision the future of Zumezu to be a website, or a service or software tool on the internet or the user’s device, that helps photographers (amateur and professional), artists (amateur and professional), brands, and common end-users composite photographs and images in creative ways and share them with their community, clients, or audience.
There are a number of photo-based manipulation tools, photo-sharing sites, and social networking sites on the Internet. Zumezu isn’t like any of them. Zumezu is about advanced image compositing and targets a niche market both horizontally across geographies, and vertically across community groups and brands.
