Phonezoo.com launches a free service for personalized ringtones

Phonezoo.com launches today, offering user generated content and a free service for personalized ringtones.

I saw a slideshow and a demo of how it works. It’s fabulous, anyone can open their own free account under “My Zoo” and save ringtones or music that they’ve uploaded from their hard disk – and share them with their cellmates, (family and friends). Friends can in turn upload their friends music to their own phone, they can even select which part of the song they want. And the Phonezoo community can rate and comment on the ringtones people have posted.

In their own words:

The company’s technology combines user-generated content and the collective intelligence of the Phonezoo community to deliver a ringtone service poised to disrupt a $600MM market in the U.S.

Phonezoo doesn’t charge for ringtones and you don’t need to buy any conversion software. With Phonezoo you are using the existing music and audio files in your own library, or files that are publicly available on the Internet, so there are no charges and no copyright issues.

Ringtones are fun and personalized. Phonezoo makes creating and sharing ringtones fun. Consumers can compose unique ringtones from any segment of any song or audio file they own; and they can create completely new and different ringtones from any sound source.

Phonezoo makes finding and sharing great ringtones a breeze. Phonezoo’s service gives users the ability to tap into the collective creative power of the Phonezoo community to find highly-rated, unique ringtones. Users can share their creations with friends, family and other Phonezoo community members.
