Shozu, and being done when there’s nothing left to remove

More from my long notes tail.

For a while I wanted to write a long article on Cognima.

Who?

The guys who brought us Shozu, that’s who.

Cognima had a really complex, operator-focused image posting solution that really never went anywhere (as far as I know).

WIth Shozu, they cut away all that extra, whittling down to the main feature that folks wanted. That’s why their service is so robust and smooth – it’s backed up with years of experience and a strong platform.

Now, they can slowly add features as they need them, since they likely have a whole tool-chest of dropped features from the original system. And, if you’ve noticed, they don’t rock the boat that often, having added only a few extensions since their ‘launch’.

Interesting position to be in. Just thought I’d point it out. If you want a longer article, feel free to add below.

On another note, they used to distribute some cool CDs called ‘Music to Replicate Data By’. Great idea.

  1. I agree 100%, being in a position where your core product is hugely popular, and having a treasure trove of features to add at whim is nice.
