Nice review posted on Photo Sharing Nuggets

Photo Sharing Nuggets has just posted quite a nice review of KoffeePhoto and we love their conclusion: “This system is at the apex of the popular photo storing and photo sharing frenzy. It’s easy, convenient, user friendly, and safe.“. Anything to add to this?

More photo management interactivity available online

Our recently launched revamped online photo sharing pages provide for more interactivity in photo management.

Functions previously only available from our software client have now been included into the online pages. These functions include creation of photo albums, upload of photos, interactive photo album management and photo editing. Obviously, these functions are only available in connected mode and on one’s own pictures.

This addition should allow for more photo management interactivity on computers where KoffeePhoto software is not installed. The only requirement is the availability on Java.

As some functions require uploading of the files, special care needs to be taken before closing the browser. Make sure to check the progress bar located on the upper left corner before closing the browser. The progress bar should become an OK button before safely returning to other online operations.

KoffeePhoto powers seniorplanet.fr and femmesplus.fr

Launching today, KoffeePhoto powers seniorplanet.fr, a french web site targeting a 45+ senior audience, and femmesplus.fr, a french web site targeting a 35+ women audience, and adds photo management, sharing and print ordering capabilities to these web sites.

Among other reasons, KoffeePhoto was chosen for its straightforward co-branding capabilities, its full featured service and its inherent ability to generate trafic to these web sites.

How to: Use your KoffeePhoto stored photo albums as a screensaver

Using our recently introduced Media RSS feeds and the Windows based free Media Feed Screen Saver, displaying pictures stored on your KoffeePhoto account or on a friend’s KoffeePhoto account as a screensaver is very easy.

  • Download and install the Media Feed Screen Saver software.
  • Go to the KoffeePhoto web pages displaying the album from which you want to have the pictures displayed as a screensaver.
  • Copy and paste the URL of the RSS feed of the selected photo album and you’re done.

You can also use these RSS feeds to display pictures on compatible wireless digital picture frames.

Photo sharing: KoffeePhoto or Facebook?

When it comes to sharing photos, KoffeePhoto or Facebook are some of the options.

Why having to choose? Among others, Facebook is great to manage connections and share photos. KoffeePhoto goes beyond when it comes to manage and backup your whole photo library. Thus KoffeePhoto provides for sharing and retrieving your original photos if needed. So why not use the best of both worlds?

Our recently launched revision added a Facebook based photo sharing function. This new feature provides for sharing a single photo or a whole album by sending a message to designated Facebook friends or by posting a message to your Facebook profile. It also provides for optionally including a preview. While you can edit all information, the caption and description of the shared photo or album are automatically included. Obviously a link to the designated web page is included for full browsing.

You can’t wait? Go to your KoffeePhoto Web Space, log in, select the photo or album you want to share and click on the Share button. The few steps are rather self-explanatory. You obviously need a Facebook account.

As always, feedback is welcome.

KoffeePhoto adds support of Media RSS

With the latest revision of the KoffeePhoto web site, we added support of Media RSS.

For quite some time now, KoffeePhoto users could already track their photo albums easily using RSS feeds. We have now extended the scope of these feeds by adding support of Media RSS. Media RSS allows for simple display of the photos on various digital photo frames or photo display software.

The RSS feed URL is displayed on each photo album page (RSS feed of a demo album).

This added feature will reinforce KoffeePhoto’s role of being the center of your digital photo library.
