KoffeePhoto photo sharing with an iPhone

Numerous questions came to us about compatibility between KoffeePhoto photo sharing and iPhone. In other words, as iPhone allows for web browsing, what about browsing your KoffeePhoto photo sharing account for your photos and your relatives’ shared photos?

Well, as iPhone displays standard web pages without alteration, the KoffeePhoto pages are displayed smoothly and iPhone’s zooming capabilities allow for proper displaying of the pictures. So, yes, add your KoffeePhoto private page to your bookmarks and start enjoying the KoffeePhoto photo sharing experience with iPhone.

Last but not the least, the nicest part of the story is that KoffeePhoto includes unlimited and free online storage of your photos, avoiding the need for a .Mac subscription.

Activity summary feature added to KoffeePhoto

Those of you who have created their photo sharing account since KoffeePhoto 2.5 already have received their first activity summary in their mailbox. Previous users will receive it soon. But what is this activity summary and why did we add this feature?
For obvious reasons, we do not want you to forget about your pictures. Therefore, the KoffeePhoto photo sharing activity summary regularly provides you with useful information about your photo sharing status, among others: your photo sharing fellows’ recent posts, comments added to your pictures and the backup level of your photos.

Getting into details, we wanted you to know about the latest pictures added by your photo sharing relatives. With this in mind, a section of the activity summary lists all recent photo albums added by people already sharing pictures with you. The more you share photos, the more people will share photos with you.

More, as KoffeePhoto features a mini blog associated to each photo, we wanted to make sure you get the latest comments done to your pictures. Therefore, all recent comments are listed allowing you to reply.

And, last but not the least, as good times are always good to remember, we’ve added a section with randomly chosen pictures from your library.

For all these reasons, we are pretty confident that this addition will provide you with a better photo sharing experience.

With time, new features will be added to the KoffeePhoto photo sharing activity summary.

What makes KoffeePhoto different?

Photo sharing is all around. But what makes KoffeePhoto different?

First, KoffeePhoto is not solely a photo sharing web site. KoffeePhoto includes a full featured photo management software program available on the Linux, MacOS and Windows platforms. This makes day-to-day photo management fast and easy and, last but not the least, allows for offline operation and photo viewing. Also included are various photo touch-up functions and a true and automatic photo album backup and restoration feature.

Once online, the KoffeePhoto software agent takes care of synchronizing offline and online content for online publishing and backup purposes.

Depending on each photo album specific settings, pictures can be shared online or not. If online sharing is allowed, the pictures can be viewed using classical web pages or full screen Flash based slideshows. Pictures can also be displayed using various methods thanks to RSS feeds and widgets. More, a micro-blog is attached to each photo allowing for commenting and chatting. Whatever the settings, private password protected viewing of the pictures is always allowed for the owner of the pictures.

Previously mentionned, the KoffeePhoto photo album backup and restoration feature relies on who has added your photo albums to his own photo library. In case of a failure, the KoffeePhoto software agent will automatically retrieve albums from your backup fellows.

All these features make KoffeePhoto quite a unique solution in the crowded photo sharing arena.

Simplified Chinese and Czech added to KoffeePhoto photo sharing locales

Two weeks after having introduced our KoffeePhoto Online Translation Interface, we are proud to announce two new locales added to KoffeePhoto, Simplified Chinese and Czech. Thanks to these additions, KoffeePhoto photo sharing gets one step closer to its users. No doubt more locales will be added soon.

Introducing KoffeePhoto localization tool

Photo sharing needs to be available everywhere. Since we started development, we wanted KoffeePhoto to break the boundaries and address the needs of photo sharing throughout the world. With this in mind we rapidly supported five locales, being English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish.

Time has now come for a further step. We therefore now launch our KoffeePhoto collaborative localization tool.
