DropShots' New Platform is the Fastest and Most Dynamic Photo and Video Sharing Service on the Web

October 9, 2007; 11:10 AM
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Rebuilt from the ground up, the new DropShots platform was built for speed and dynamic performance. DropShots has become a family favorite for photo and video sharing because of its clean and simple user interface and ease of use. Now rebuilt as a complete javascript web application (like Gmail or Google Maps), DropShots combines ease of use with stunning performance, creating the power of a desktop application like iPhoto or Windows Vista Photo Gallery, but ONLINE. Simple, dynamic and fast -- you can browse through an infinite library of photos and videos in lightening speed without the web page ever needing to reload. Friends and family can easily and speedily view big beautiful photos and large high quality videos sorted by date, albums, captions, tags and even ratings and participate in lively discussions about the life events captured on photo and video.

"We have leveraged the latest technologies mixed with some of our proprietary architecture to create what we think is the next generation in the online photo and video sharing. We believe this is the most exciting thing happening in photo and video sharing right now," says Ryan Sit, Founder and CTO of DropShots.

    -- Fast -- Instead of just sprinkling snippets of new technologies
       interstitially on top of legacy architecture, DropShots was entirely
       rebuilt as complete Rich Internet Application (RIA). The new DropShots
       platform was designed to look, function and perform like a desktop
       application, but with the benefits of being on the web to enable
       anytime anywhere sharing with friends and family. The sophisticated
       uses of java script, AJAX and other technologies creates an amazingly
       responsive user experience combined with rich functions such as
       drag-n-drop sorting, infinite scroll and multiple tab viewing.
    -- Easy -- DropShots has removed user steps and complexities from every
       step of the process. DropShots' proprietary DropBox allows a user to
       drag-n-drop an entire collection or even folders full of mixed media
       files. Uploading is ten times (10X) faster than most any other site.
       All uploaded files are automatically organized by the original date
       taken. Photos and videos can be further arranged into albums simply by
       drag-n-drop.   Even tag clouds are automatically generated from
       captions and comments so no additional work is needed.
    -- Quality -- DropShots delivers this superior performance while also
       offering bigger and higher quality browsing photo size two times (2X)
       bigger than Flickr and up to four times (4X) higher quality video than
       most video sharing sites including YouTube.
    -- Engaging -- DropShots is more than just a place to host photos and
       videos like Photobucket or VideoEgg. DropShots is where families and
       friends see, share and keep in touch with each other's life. DropShots
       has made the conversation, the connection, between friends and family
       central to their design from the beginning. It is easy to read, add and
       participate in vivacious conversations so all members of the family can
       connect and keep in touch.
