GizMode article about PhotoShare
GizMode wrote about PhotoShare, which is really great for publicity, but there is one paragraph I don’t like.
Their first app for the iPhone, PhotoShare, isn’t bad, but it’s another photo service to sign up for, and we just wanna use Flickr, damn it.
PhotoShare is NOT yet another photo storage service, it is a social networking service that allows users to share their experiences with friends, family and the rest of world in real time.
The key is “real-time”. PhotoShare is not designed for people to upload pictures they have taken several hours ago. We have optimized PhotoShare for people to share their photos while they are experiencing, in order to share their experiences, express their emotions, and communicates with friends and family.
Last weekend, many PhotoShare users took their own photos right before they go to Dark Knight (a new batman movie) sharing their excitements, then posted their photos again after watching the movie. This exactly the scenario PhotoShare was designed, for that that is the real “always connected” lifestyle.
