High Praise for Cuvid

spigit, July 2007

Cuvid was selected as one of a handful of up-and-coming company to launch spigit, a new social network for startups. In the first week of its launch, Cuvid's personalized videos was ranked one of the top companies and has received fantastic feedback from investors and fellow entrepreneurs.
Here's what some of our colleagues are saying:

• "This is a really neat idea, it seems like children can really learn and benefit from a personalized interaction. With parents needing to travel, this also will help the children to stay in-touch"
• "Your idea is really good and I see a lot of potential for it, but what blew me away was the actual implementation. Anyone can use your site - it has to be one of the top rated websites I have surfed in ease of use"
  
• "Awesome! I absolutely love this idea. You should be selling this in toy stores everywhere!"

Thank goodness it’s fun and easy, and pretty quick..."
