Globe merges photo-sharing with social networking

SNAP. Select. Send. Sending photos instantly from your camera phone to the Web isn't entirely a new thing. Blackberry or iPhone users can install Facebook for mobile which allows photos to be sent instantly to one's profile. Depending on how fast your connection is , of course. (But that's what 3G is for, right?) But not all people carry Blackberrys and iPhones. Yet, most people today can't be caught dead carrying a phone that doesn't have a camera. So basically, Globe is eyeing a bigger market for PixLink since it works with m ost Nokia series 60 phones, those Sony Ericsson Cybershot units and Windows Mob ile handsets. Pixlink uses compression technology from a company called PixSense. Which promi ses to send files faster and then un-compresses them so it retains the original resolution when posted on Facebook, Flickr, Blogger and Picasa. So unlike most file-s haring sites that reduces file size (ergo, lower resolution) in order to send f iles faster - it's free anyway so they wouldn't want your pics hogging their se rvers - there's a good chance your pictures will appear clearer when your frien ds view them online. Unfortunately, I'm a Blackberry user and PixLink isn't available yet for my dev ice and the iPhone. The service is also on free trial right now and Globe isn't telling yet how muc h it costs. I'm guessing users will be charged per picture sent. And yes, it's not just Facebook. So if you think you just took the perfect prof ile shot, and you have money to burn, then post it right away to all your socia l networking accounts.

The quality of pictures using PixLink is perfect and this is what inspired me in to using PixLink. The installation is easy and it doesn't need a large internal memory to install it. I can store photos and vids even if its temporary and with the push of a button can share photos at an instant with my family and friends. Since its web to mobile its going to attract even more users because users can easily keep track or update about what happening in their lives. I cannot imagine myself getting disconnected from using PixLink, I'd be history without this amazing application.
