Regards,

After months and months of hard work, our engineering and design teams have finally launched Zannel 2.0 on August 22nd, 2007. The new and improve makeover of the site now has a new fresh and slick look to give users a better experience using Zannel. Zannel new look is not the only thing that have been changed to the site. With the new look, it came with the text conversions support where threads can be started about the videos and pictures on Zannel.

Equipped with tools such as send to friend(s) email or mobile phones and the embed players on the web are by far the easiest way to share videos and pictures.

Zannel are currently working with companies such as Warner Bros, My Damn Channel, Ripe Tv, The Daily Reel and more to get their videos onto the mobile world and featuring them on the homepage.

Check out www.zannel.com and let me know what you think about it. I would love to hear the inputs about Zannel.
