Oosah is a simple, easy-to-use, but feature rich “Web 2.0″ content hosting site. They basically give you one spot on the Web where you can manage all of your digital media content - photos, videos, and music/audio files. It is designed to be easy enough for novice users to use, while at the same time providing features that even the advanced user can appreciate. Oosah is a fully Web-based application, there is no Oosah application or code that you need to download or install on your Mac or PC.

Oosah has a number of features you won’t find on other Web-based content hosting sites. These include:

• A fully Web-based file management system that lets you create file folders, and file folder hierarchies, just like you can do on your desktop system.
• A desktop-like look and feel for the Oosah service, including use of standard drag-and-drop, and keyboard commands for performing Oosah operations.
• The ability to upload content to Oosah in almost any digital format. Oosah accepts virtually all digital photo formats, including raw, uncompressed formats from individual camera vendors, as well as standard compressed file formats (e.g., JPG/JPEG). Oosah also accepts .avi, .mpg, .wmv video formats.
• The ability to upload content directly from your capture device (e.g., digital camera or cell phone) to Oosah, without having to transfer it to a PC or Mac first. (Of course, you can transfer it onto a PC or Mac, and then to Oosah if you want to.)
• More sharing options than almost any other site, including email, RSS, linking/embedding, SMS, podcasting, and even downloading and burning to CD/DVD, and local high resolution printing of photos.

In a nuthsell, it’s a good project with potential that is in its beta phase and deserves attention.
