Thank Yous Continue: Cincopa

I first learned about Cincopa when I was looking for a dynamic slideshow plug-in for a specific project for Scrub-a-Dub-Tub, a Wordpress blog. What struck me about Cincopa was its flexibility and the fact that it could handle various media types. The best thing, of course, was that I could get all that for FREE!
Cincopa is a Web 2.0 Internet platform that enables the creation of powerful, rich media web applications ... Create your website, blog site, sharing site, photos/video album site with videos, music and photos - and let Cincopa take care of storage, delivering, scalability, uploading, transcoding (video), sharing and more!
I was also impressed by the personal, tailored notes from the company president within 24 hours of installing the plug-in. When I had some initial problems (user error, I assure you!), I had some immediate feedback on what to do.

My project only required images, but should I ever want to incorporate other types of platforms, it would be easy to do. I am still working on the other project, but because of CINCOPA's flexibility and ease of use, I was able to create a slide show thanking our Share a Story 2010 sponsors and hosts on THIS blog, which uses a Blogger platform.

WordPress plugin



In addition to having a free version (the WP plug-in), there is also a Cincopa Pro. Cincopa supports nonprofits and humanitarian causes with a free pro account. In the midst of Share a Story - Shape a Future 2010 last week, I received word that the Reading Tub had been upgraded to a Pro account.

I loved the product before we went Pro, and I'm very grateful for Cincopa's generosity toward organizations working to make a difference.
