Globe merges photo-sharing with social networking
- 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 most Nokia series 60 phones, those Sony Ericsson Cybershot units and Windows Mobile handsets.
Pixlink uses compression technology from a company called PixSense. Which promises to send files faster and then un-compresses them so it retains the original resolution when posted on Facebook, Flickr, Blogger and Picasa.
