eSnips And Web 2.0

Snips are a great way to share content, promote and sell your creations and form social niche communities, all based around specific areas of interest. eSnips are part of the new frontier of the Internet, called Web 2.0. Members can upload and share content in any file type from one centralized profile, in folders representing their different areas of interest, and can determine the audience for each folder.

Web 2.0 is meant to be a "social" environment, free of spam, and one that focuses on communications with people with similar interests. The term "friend" is often used to reflect these relationships.

eSnips is structured into Profiles, Folders, Communities, Social sharing capabilities and an eSnips Marketplace. It was founded by the former founders of shopping.com. They started the new diretion with the creation of NetSnippets, which was an internet search and organization tool that was sold to schools, libraries and research facilities.

The company headquarters is currently in Israel and its team is composed of 13 full-time members, divided into R&D, Marketing and Technical support. eSnips was founded by the former founders of shopping.com. eSnips morphed from the original search engine design

According to wikepedia, in February 2008 eSnips installed Audible Magic. This system was supposed to automatically recognize copyrighted audio using a database of copyrighted tracks. In reality, however, it blocked lots of original music and even non-music content. For some users it blocked 100% of their uploads, even when they didn't even contain any music, only speech. eSnips support has not yet reacted to these complaints and problems in any meaningful way.
