BLOWN AWAY by a Download Site – Softoxi.com!

It is RARE for a download site to impress me. Very rare. But Softoxi.com has literally just blown me away! I’m quite frankly shocked with disbelief!

Their screenshot page for Photo Resizer INCLUDES A VIDEO SHOWING INSTALLATION AND HOW TO USE PHOTO RESIZER!

I received an email from Rainer Weiss, the editor at Softoxi, at a contact email address that I don’t use for PAD submissions, and when I checked, I saw that he had registered at the Super Simple web site. i.e. He went out of his way to email me at a properly monitored email address. Here’s the email:

Dear Sir/Madam

Softoxi.com lab testing team would like to inform you that your product Photo Resizer has been listed and awarded by our editors:

—————————————————————-
Photo Resizer is a smart little tool that provides probably the easiest way to resize your photos.

Just drag and drop a photo into Photo Resizer then slide the SIZE bar until you’re happy.

All resized photos are PC compatible for Mac, Windows, and Linux, so you can share them with everyone!

Photo Resizer also works with YOUR digital camera. Whether you have a Nikon, Canon, Sony, Samsung, Casio, or whatever it is, you can use the Super Simple Photo Resizer to resize your photos. In other words, the color of your digital camera manufacturer’s logo doesn’t matter.

I’m impressed.

The anti-virus reports are also on Softoxi’s main page for Photo Resizer and include avast! and Kaspersky.

To top it all off, all of this is on a Saturday too!

Softoxi lists Photo Resizer as “Ad supported”, which is perfectly fine and is something that I plan on addressing in great detail later.

But the point is, there are software sites out there that really put in a lot of effort. Knowing who they are is almost impossible, so I hope this helps people know about one of the good ones!

Cheers,

Ryan
