Smartphone owners can easily upload photos to photowall.com as photoWALL now expands its availability to the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi. photoWALL offers various media channels or WALLs and displays them live on the website.
Users can conveniently upload live images with user-entered hash tags to the website designed for public, network or private viewing. photoWALL also allows users to upload live mobile media to social networks like Facebook, Flickr and Twitter.
In the initial two weeks since the Palm test launch, over 15,000 Palm Pre users have downloaded and used photoWALL. “We are excited to be the first free live photo uploading application available in the Palm Beta App Catalog,” said CEO Mark Haverkate. “It’s fun to see so many live mobile photos coming in from all over the world, and fantastic that the launch of Palm Pixi will bring photoWALL to a whole new group of users.”
With a family name, group, team, club or organization hash tag name, users can create special WALLS, particularly consisting of photos from same group members. It is a new approach to blend and share photos easily with friends. Users can experience a consolidated view of their photos uploaded on one WALL, regardless of their mobile phone platforms and network carriers. The entire group and their followers can view and comment on these photos.
photoWALL claims to be the only mobile to web service that enables users to create a sharable collection of photos from a group of friends or family members. For instance, users can create a group by tagging a photo with the name ‘mygroupname’. All photos with this hash tag are displayed at photowall.com/mygroupname without considering different mobile devices, locations or wireless providers of users.
Specially for companies and charitable organizations, photoWALL has created an API that permits them to blend mobile photos, tags and comments into their own websites from their customers and supporters. This creation is expected to impel the expansion of the CPE advertising and fundraising model. This facilitates an advertiser to pay for significant consumer interactions with the brand or organization than paying for clicks with unexpected results.
