Zude Co-Founder Jim McNeil explains how Zude is a fully customizable personal online space where users can grab and share pictures, objects, widgets and information allowing them to communicate with their friends and contacts in a way not possible on Facebook or Myspace. Zude effectively allows anyone to easily create and maintain their very own website.

What we learned about Zude:

• Allows users to organize, publish and share their digital assets
• Uses a premium ad unit model allowing only one perishable ad on any given page
• Zude platform is a social media community with exchangeable objects
