Thank you Kodoom.com

I would like to express my sincere gratitude toward this great website for supporting Child Foundation cause and it's events. The management of Kodom.com has generously advertised CF fundraising events and is willing to help this charity organization to move forward.

Special thanks to Iranian.com for featuring this well-organized and informative website.

For The Record, From Kodoom.com

Dear Bruce and all,

As a member of Kodoom Team, I wanted to thank everyone for their supportive comments. We do respect 7rooz's contribution and I personally applaud them for their time and effort. But there are several differences between Kodoom and 7rooz:

1- Many of our events are Not "user-posted." We realized early on that relying on the goodwill, commercial interest or pro-activeness of users will leave out most events.

2- Kodoom.com 's database of "upcoming" events is by far the largest among all sites (perhaps currently 15-20 times that of 7 rooz).

3- We offer search by location, keyword and event theme,as well as exact geo-mapping of events, nearby restaurants, and many other features such as online ticketsales, to make the user experience a fast, convenient and productive one.

4- We have Farsi AND English titles and will soon be Bilingual.

5- In addition to finding events, our mission is to also find and showcase emerging and established artists and performers.

We have welcomed partnership opportunities with any Persian website, including 7rooz, because we do not consider Kodoom.com a direct competitive threat to any other website (Persian that is! Our on-line ticket sales will directly compete with TicketMaster and others).

Thanks to All again. Please DO visit us often, send comments, be a guest contributor, and send us links to ANY events or Persian restaurants we missed.

In Peace,
On Behalf of the Most Wonderful Team at Kodoom.com

Very Smart

I just tried it and it's awesome. It's really easy to use and its answers are smart. It detected my location and listed nearby events and restaurants. In the past, I had to search a lot for such information. Good job kodoomers!

Very Nice!

Tried it. Very cool. I agree with Hamshahri. The city drop down list is brilliant.

wow! i tried adding the

wow! i tried adding the event to my yahoo cal and it actually worked :)
love the city drop down list.

keep it coming, we love it!

To 7Rooz Fan

Nothing against 7rooz (or your loyalty!), but since you bring up 7rooz, Kodoom is what 7rooz should have become. Actually Kodoom is 7rooz on steroids! For the review, I tested several regions on both (and several other sites similar to 7rooz) and simply found a lot more listings and activities on Kodoom. 7rooz for example has 0 events showing for September and October in the Bay Area (as of this writing). Which is way off. In addition the layout and way Kodoom delivers the information is much more fun and magazine-like and intuitive and useful than the typical calendar approach used by 7rooz and the other calendar sites. So I liked reading Kodoom a lot better, it worked faster too, I found far more information and more events on Kodoom than 7rooz, and could add the information to both of my Yahoo and Google calendars as well as forward it to a friend quickly. This is key to not missing the event. With 7rooz and others you have to copy and paste into your calendar. I really liked Kodoom's listing of past events, it was good to know what I have missed. Also I could not easily tell a paid ad from a listing. Very clever! 7rooz's "email it to a friend", and email sign up are broken and gives you a "url not found" error message (as of this writing).

Great Job

This is the first time I see this number of cool features in a Persian website. Thanks for the review.

Very cool!

Thanks.

Amazing!

Kodoom has the potential of becoming the Persian Yahoo or Google if they add more features to it.
Great job.

Search in Kodoom Seems Great!

I used to look at 7rooz.com to find events, but it seems that Kodoom.com has much more events and also support search around locations as well as the name of Persian restaurants around it. Thanks for telling us about Kodoom.

Greet website

Thanks for the intro. It seems that finally someone has created a professional Persian website. As you mentioned, almost all of the Persian websites are based on the boring templates which are always the same. I really like kodoom.

Boring

Why all the excitement?
www.7rooz.com has been offering the same info for years now.

You Have a Great Taste

Dear Bruce,

I occasionally contribute to Kodoom, like you do for Iranian.com, and I find the two websites among the few refreshing Persian sites around. I know the founders of Kodoom are adding a bilingual English/Farsi layout very soon (in August), and also selling tickets on line for some of the events which will make it a one-stop shop so we don't have to travel 40 miles to the Persian grocery store and buy tickets when we buy "Noon-e Panir-o Gerdoo."
Keep up the good work Bruce and Iranian.com.

Great

Thanks for introducing such a great website.
It's professionally designed, well organized and has amazing database for Iranian events and restaurants

Wowwwwww
