Reviewed on Mashable

Mashable.com was kind enough to take a moment to review SoarPort. The post can be found here: http://mashable.com/2008/04/28/soarport-is-scribd-for-big-photos-the-startup-review/

It sounds like a kinda lukewarm review, and I personally don't see the similarity between SoarPortand Scribd. I think Scribd has their view of what they want to publish and how, and other than the fact we both provide embedded viewers, we're pretty much in separate circles. Oh well, all that means is I've got more work to help educate people on what SoarPort is supposed to do. I do certainly appreciate the comment that our focus on large dimension images may lead to us being best of breed. That would be the intention...SoarPort is not trying to be a publisher of all media (that would be more down Scribd's alley). Instead, we are providing a unique way to display a large dimension image. I honestly believe there will come a day where you won't consider listing a house for sale on the internet without an accompanying SoarPort of the floorplan. It seems like such a natural fit: you want your audience to spend a little extra time looking at the property, and SoarPort provides that opportunity. Given that SoarPort is free, it seems like an absolute no-brainer. Here's an example:



So thanks very much to Mashable for their kind review.
