While Flickr users are getting their knickers in a twist over its launch of videos, mobile backup firm Mobyko has snuck up with its own multimedia sharing service. It lets people upload photos and videos direct from their phones to Mobyko’s gallery, which can then be shared with mates online.
It even lets you store texts, which Mobyko says is ideal if you need to keep an important text from a business associate. Does that ever happen in the real world? I assume there’s also a feature that stops your important texts being shared with the world alongside your photos and videos, mind. You can organise all this stuff into albums, and add descriptions to individual photos and videos.”We wanted to give every mobile user the tools to ensure that they would never again lose a mobile moment,” says Mobyko CEO Julian Saunders.
It’s a logical extension to the company’s existing contacts backup service, but it remains to be seen whether it’ll attract new users, given the competition from individual sites like Flickr and YouTube, established mobile startups like ShoZu, and handset apps like Nokia’s Lifeblog.
