Twango

Twango was an online media sharing site that supported multiple file types such as photos, video, audio, and documents.

Founded in 2004 by Jim Laurel, Philip Carmichael, Randy Kerr, Serena Glover and Michael Laurel in Redmond, Washington, it provided users a means of repurposing their media, including sharing, editing, organizing and categorizing.

In addition, Twango saved all the original media and its metadata (this includes, but is not limited to, IPTC and Exif).

Sign up for a basic account was free, and provided 250 megabytes of upload bandwidth a month.

A twango twidget is an embedded snippet of code (currently Flash or JavaScript) that can be added to a user's blog.

In addition, Twango does not implement any technology to block copyrighted material, but instead relies on the community to "flag" inappropriate media.
