>That's a great summary for what our product is and does.

>We agree that the notes feature is somewhat primitive at the moment and are addressing that in our next product update, which includes an advanced notes editor with support for images.

>Our multimedia service is actually a simplified manner in which you can access and view embedded multimedia content (SlideShare, Scribd, Vimeo, YouTube, etc.) that you've bookmarked. If any search in your library turns up a multimedia result, you'll see a miniature version of that content embedded in and viewable directly from your library without the clutter usually present on native multimedia content sites.

>Our mobile applications are amongst our top priorities at the moment. We encountered a bit of a hiccup and were unable to release our Android app as expected during the last product update, though we did still update our front page with the mobile feature announcement. Rest assured that our next release is set to include a full-featured Android application with browser integration. Applications for Apple devices are set to be explored shortly thereafter, with possible apps for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices in discussion.

>We are actually focused on the SMB side of the product right now. We're using the product development phase to build our brand name and to test our product. Once we have refined the product message, function, look and feel we will start our pitch to the SMB space

>The tabs are currently animated, but they stay for 30 seconds so that all of the information can be read. If you're getting a sense that this is too long, we'll happily shorten it.

>We really appreciate the suggestion for our product positioning and will work on our message to project benefits instead of features. Currently we're trying to communicate benefits as the following, but they may change in time: 1) we let the users save any content or stream into Zukmo, enabling them to search for and share it with their contacts. 2) We enable the users to search in a flexible manner for any text within the title, description, content body and tags to retrieve it. 3) we also simplify the web content to make it more readable 4) We enable the users to access everything from their smart phone devices. Would these messages have more appeal if they were consolidated into, say, simplified messages about collecting, organizing, accessing, and sharing?

>You make a very important point for improving utility. We'll definitely do some legwork to see how far down we can whittle down the amount of user input needed to accomplish tasks, without compromising feature depth.

>You make great points about the ease of market penetration and reduced competition associated with operating in a niche market. Our current goal is to remain broad-based and to provide a bare bones document/information management solution for SMBs where the entry criteria are much less stringent. We will further customize the product to address the client's needs.

>Thanks very much for taking the time to give us your feedback. We really appreciate it! We'll certainly be back once we've passed a few more milestones.
