The other day I came across a new social network site that is a Canada Montreal-based, and will officially launch on this September 16. Capazoo is the name of the site, and the management team had prioritize the recent hot opportunities of online social networking by launching a site that can rival MySpace or Facebook. Though this site was unveiled in last November, it is still in private beta phase. Most of the members that I found through browsing the site are from Canada, and you’ll definitely share the joy with them when you visit their personal profiles and read that they’re very happy, feeling great, or he/she is in love with someone. In fact, Capazoo is a feature-rich site that allowed their existing users to do stuff like email (through Capazoo’s CZ Mail), blogging, broadcasting, photocasting, add friends, participate in member-get-member scheme and earn the online currency called Zoops, and etcetera. One of the things that I want to talk about Capazoo is the site was developed by using Flash technologies, and thus users that want to experience this site and their computers must be Adobe-Flash pre-installed. Though Flash is mainly used for delivering rich, interactive content and applications such as video, audio, or image, but the lack of distribution in operating systems and browsers maybe one of the factors that hinder the growth prospect of Capazoo.

Capazoo did claimed it is an ultimate social life network and entertainment site. However, given that Capazoo’s existing features (what they release in this invitation-only beta phase), it’s still a long way for them to realize their Web 2.0 dream.

Update: Capazoo has been shut down.
